I get the impression that thefts are a bit more common in Central and South America than Asia and Africa.I did some searching and couldn't find many reliable robbery statistics since they're not kept specifically for tourists or foreigners. Not sure if it's bad luck or just more likely to happen there - either case I'm sorry to hear that. It seems to come in bunches too, I've had friends who were robbed only to get robbed several months later again while traveling! I think I remember you Twittering about that.

We were robbed in Guatemala City four months ago by scam artists...and three times since in Costa Rica! Every theft we've had (five) occured in Latin America even though we traveled through far poorer countries in Africa, India and Asia.Loved the story, looking forward to part V.Doris Wow, what a great story — you wrote it really well.
