[QUOTE="naplesdon, post: 1113535, member: 18618"] I totally agree with Henrythedog, it is amazing that someone would not keep their passport or cash on their person 24/7 but I accept it does happen. Backpacks dropped off by courier services hours before an albergue has opened happens quite often, it makes easy prey for whoever passes by. The more valuable you make your stuff appear, the more likely is it to disappear, i.e. I personally would not carry a Louis Vuitton backpack. My only personal experience with someone being robbed was a pilgrim I met once who "had" one of those passport cases that one carries around the neck. He was staying in the public in Cizur Menor and sleeping with the bag around his neck. He woke up in the morning and it was no longer with him. He remembered some fishy character checking into the albergue late at night with a rather small backpack, but mentioned that his radar was not working. Two lessons here: 1.) Keep your valuable with/on you 24/7 in a pocket or at the bottom of your sleep sack at night; and 2.) Your personal radar about about certain predators around you is probably your best defense. The Camino is probably the safest place on earth but you never know.... [/QUOTE]
