Hey all,
I'm not a regular here on the forum, but just thought I'd share what happened to me today in Envigado.
I'm volunteering here in Medellin for a few months and was having coffee at Cafe Otraparte. A man took my backpack from under my chair, with all my belongings in, including clothes, kindle, and a USB with all my photos on.
I know it's not the worst or rarest thing that could've happened here, but it's a reminder to keep an eye on your stuff if you're in the area.
I'll head to the policia fiscal station in Envigado tomorrow, but know I'm unlikely to get anything back.
Any tips on where my stuff might be sold? If I could get the empty backpack itself back, I'd consider that a victory. It's not a common make for Colombia, so might be noticeable.
Cheers
Ben
