[QUOTE="Peter-H, post: 1124673, member: 92899"] Cautionary note re robbery. I was in a sixteen bed dorm and all my money was stolen. My wallet had three hundred euros, one hundred Canadian dollars and fifty Australian dollars. My wallet was secure (I thought). I believe someone saw me transfer the wallet to my walking shorts. The shorts, as well as shirt, socks, fleece etc were under my pack which was close to my face. I believe the thief took the shorts, probably to the bathroom and cleaned out the wallet. The three different currencies were in different parts of the wallet, one being zipped up. The shorts were then returned with the wallet in place. I didn't realise I'd been robbed until just before I left. I asked if those still there had seen anything but predictability nobody did. I am posting this thread with these details to illustrate how the opportunistic thief operates. My relatively good attention to security fell short sadly. The loss won't break me, and as much as anything it's the violation the makes me angry. Sad that we have a low-life type like amongst us. I won't let it define my Camino, however I thought I should share my experience as a note caution. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
