Thanks for all the help everyone. I live there and going to be there soon, so I wanted to know what kind of arsenal I need to bring down with me. I have a good understanding now. That beach area behind Banco Popular, real dark area in the evening. I never really realized there were any houses, well, now I think about it, i think there was one behind the old burger hut. The police are on the take or better yet, useless in Boca. I was robbed one night after taking a motoconcho home, careful jrzguy, they were waiting in the dark for the moto to leave inside my first gate. Anyway, they robbed me with what looked like a real gun, got less than a mil, then scrammed toward the bario. This was at 11PM, my oldest daugher called the police three times, they never even showed up once. Still haven't up to this date....lol....I can laugh now....Things are not good unfortunately. I will be prepared though.
