Habsman...You don't know the half of it. The crime in Costa Rica is unbelievable. Sure there's crime in the U.S. and anywhere else, but the percentages go way up in this little "peaceful" country. EVERY WEEK I have people telling me how they got robbed, assulted, houses and cars broken into, etc. This isn't normal and it wasn't like this in CR four or five years ago. Costa Rica has gone to shit...and fast. The crime here is especially notable for the overwelming violence used and that fact that very often the criminals get very little in value from their victims. There is a reason why all the homes are enclosed in gates like bird-cages and there are guards on every street corner.
