Today we had two tourists attacked in an attempt to steal their camera and other personal belongings at a popular but isolated beach near Las Galeras. When we took them to the police to make a report we asked why this popular beach doesn't have any police patrols. The answer: we don't have any money for gasoline for the patrol motorcycle. Although bruised and shook up the victims felt so bad for the police they gave them $100 pesos for gasoline.
