a friend of mine went there with her family through a school trip. so there were several other families there. the mother of one family had her purse ripped from her shoulder and my friend's father ran after the guy like a madman to get the purse back. from what i hear it went down crazy!

i'ld definitely advise using those ugly travel pouches to hang around your neck and inside of your clothes.
