Well, for me the two that stand out are the SDQ perimeter fence without anyone noticing and the steel barrier that used to separate Las Americas highway, now replaced with huge 10 ton concrete blocks.

So to make a chart of impressiveness I'll go with

1. Las America's highway central barrier. (Although these two could swap places if they were not yet concreted in when taken)
2. Perimeter fence SDQ.

2. i like the theft of the neptuno from POP's harbour (well, malecon, but out in the ocean). it was done overnight, using boats. to put the figure back dominican government needed the biggest helicopter the military force had and it took a whole bunch of people, boats, machines and so on.

The suspension cables holding up the bridge over Ozama. Don't know if they were replaced or govt. decided Dominican trucks weren't overloaded after all but the detour for them didn't last long.

let's not make it political, guys. only crimes by amateur thieves count here. professional criminals from the government belong to another league altogether...

Wouldn't that be the OP's call?

IMO the organized thievery of the ladronazos of the government are the most impressive in their impact on everybody on this tight little island.


Drink at least 12 glasses of water daily,
Apply a mixture of turmeric powder and pineapple juice on dark circles.....



Slow walking to spam territory are you?

Non-political ones that I can remember off the top are:
- The Vimenca robbery of 1999 where they killed 3 people (I don't think they ever recovered the money or caught anybody)
- The Parmalat robbery
- The "mensajero" - delivery guy who took off with 5.5 million of a construction compan
