CONSTANT CAUTION. Between 11 00 and 11 30 On way back home with my plumber saw an older Dutch? German? woman mugged by a moto man. He knocked over his cycle trying to get her. Pushed her down on the street, stole her purse and ran off. He saw us coming and would have probably went for her jewelry and passport next. Too far and could not give a useful description.
Locals all stopped to help her. I scooped up all the money, passport and Scotiabank passbook( she had probably just been to the bank ) and sat with her until the Tourismo taxi took her and her things off to Centro Medico. I asked if she spoke English and she said nothing.
Any one know anything - let Celuisima guys know - they came out rather quick, as did police. Guy got away somewhere in the mess of closed up hotels and projects. Possibly Scotiabank would have him on Camera? or at least her?
Caution - Wearing jewelry, alone, with bank book and money....and rather elderly. She probably never had a problem before. Hope she is ok and safe.
First one of those I have seen here...
