I have a young polish couple reported to me that she and an italian peregrino have money stolen from their backpacks on the 15th of september. She placed the money in her sleeping bag and went to the kitchen for breakfast for around 15 minutes. When she returned from breakfast, the money was gone. the italian also have money in his backpack stolen. Their beds were next to each other in a big dormitory.. She only knows of the two incidents, there could be more money stolen from other pelegrinos. These 2 incidents happened in a big private albergue in portamarin.
I was told the albergue has surveillance cameras and the cameras were not checked. Maybe there was no films in the camera. Also they were told they were unable to contact the police because the police department was not opened until 09:00 hour.
I am just reporting this to make peregrinos aware of the incidents. I have reviewed the comments made by peregrinos who stayed in this albergue, and the comments are very favourable. So i don't want to pass judgement.
But please, please safeguard your valuables and money. Don't leave them unattended.
I wish everyone a buen camino.
