Was this an isolated incident or are people frequently getting robbed leaving the airport in Santiago?
Let me be first one to answer to you HEDON , the answer is YES … now you gonna get lots of dr1 members saying ISOLATED but the answer is YES ! …. You see HESON not all cases get national media coverage or even less international media coverage BUT don’t get it twisted it happens more often than you think but it doesn’t not go beyond the local PRECINT

This particular case was isolated, as it was a targeted attack by someone they knew. It does happen occasionally though.

In Santiago and Santo Domingo as well. Some times targeted, other times by gangs that watch arrivals and pick out a juicy target and follow them home.
Whenever it happens, the incidents are publicized heavily to get the attention of the police.
Police usually identify the gangs pretty quickly and put them out of business.
I wouldn't use the term "Isolated" because it happens less than Isolated

Disagree. Mixing your adjectives Rey. Frequent, Isolated. Which is it? OP asked direct question. No sitting on the fence allowed.
