Charlise, have you ever been or lived in LaMulata? If you haven't then how can you say to avoid it at ANY COST if you don't even have a clue! I've lived here for many years and have never had any problems. It's just about being careful. Whether you live in Santiago, Santo Domingo, United States or wherever, there's always going to be crime.

There were a lot of robberies in LT when I lived there. The place then was built with these lovely little homes for rent with picket fences. Since then, everything is rock walled in with solid gates. You cannot see the houses, except for a few on the beach. I do not know what they do for security.. probably have an armed guard at the front.
But anywhere that is a predominiately tourist aread.. i e .. North Coast, Juan Dolio..
where you are not inside a community of Dominicans, will attractive to theives.
But dogs really help. Of course, they make it very hard to actually LEAVE the place for vacation!

Almost 3 years living in Santiago and on a recent visit (today) to Santo Domingo I witnessed my first crime. A crackhead looking dude walked right into Krispy Kreme on Nunez de Caceres in Santo Domingo and stole an original glazed donut.. He had a choice of either original, nutella filled or a krispy caramel donut that were on a platter and he chose the original glazed.
Def for dogs ....
There have been a few comments here this week .... a litter of Dobermans and one of Rottweiler ..... good prospects
Dominicans are the biggest victims of other Dominicans. We have a thief that lives close by, and he's been in jail several times for minor thefts. Whenever something goes missing in this area the cops pick him up, rough him up for good measure whether he's guilty or not. I think he's learned to do his thieving in other neighbourhoods.
I lived in Munoz for 18 months and now I am in Puerto Plata since March 2013, near SuperMercado Jos? Luis....
Not in gated but with some little security.
I've been to la Mulata and IMO, much too isolated to feel safe.... for myself anyway.
True, but the low hanging fruit is easiest to pick. Agreed on seeing what we see posted because people live in those areas.
Yes, but, they rob banks..
Think about it.
If they have the will, they will find a way.
I know of four h.invasions right off the top of my head , two of these people don't really go out much ,one doesn't drink at all ,another only has a drink now and then , and the other two were good people , one is dead and I think the other moved away ,2 of them lived in costambar ,one happened in pop and the other in cabaret,I'm sure I can come up with a few more if I think about . In Massachusetts h. invasion carries about 35 to 40 yrs.

What do you mean by that?
It's American shorthand :classic: It means that someone convicted of a home invasion in the state of Massachusetts will receive a jail sentence of 35-40 years.
But since this thread is about DR, please let's keep it to that!!!
Of course nothing happens as long as you take extreme measures. Alarm systems,
cameras, bars on windows and doors, every room in the house under lock and key.
Must leave someone to babysit your house when traveling or come back to an empty
house.
My father has been robbed (lives in SD) a few times(throughout the years) and the last
time the thieves broke right through the bars on the doors. One time the next door
neighbor caught thieves in the process of breaking the locks on the door of my father's
house and told them to get the hell out of there. Do you know that those thieves were
so bold and told him, shut up old man, this is none of your business! The neighbor said
I'm calling the police right now and that's when they stopped and ran. They are friggin
bold!
