I would like to thank everyone for their replies. It’s good to be able to hear the experiences of those already living in Costa Rica.

dkt2u and gringotico- how long have you lived in CR?

Scott,
I did search past posts on the forum about crime. There seems to be a lot of discussion involving comparison to other Central American countries and the USA. This really is not what I’m asking. I just want a clear picture of every day life in Costa Rica in regards to being safe. I’m not talking about extreme negligent behaviour either.

If I am in the back of my house do I need to have the front door locked? Am alarm engaged?

Do I need to be home before nightfall if I live in close proximity to the city?

Do I really have to be concerned about my dogs being poisoned? I’ve always thought they were the best security I could have:)

Thanks for the replies.
