I agree with yoder. Crime occurs everywhere in the world, everyday. Maybe the victims should be considering, not the place where they live, but how they live. I have lived in CR since 1992 and have never experienced a break in. I am not a law enforcement trained person or have a military background. I’m accustomed to using common sense and I do not feel the need to display wealth. Apparently, the thieves here have never had any interest in mine, or my neighbor’s possessions. I live and work in a Tico pueblo where I have gotten to know most of the locals and we all watch out for each other. Every once in a while, some wise guy from outside our pueblo comes here, usually intoxicated, and tries to start a fight or take something that is not his. Most times, the wise guy ends up leaving in the back of a rural guard pickup. In Belen, we have our own municipal police force that responds fast to any requests for help.
Perhaps those paranoid about crime where they live should consider exploring positive solutions with neighbors.
•Organizing a community security watch has proven to help.
•Paying your municipal taxes on time, can also help your community to be able to afford more and better public security.
