[QUOTE="Peter-H, post: 1125315, member: 92899"] Firstly my thanks to everyone who has added a comment to this thread. Especially thanks to those who encouraged me to report the theft. I did so this afternoon and the Guardia Civil visited me at the Hostel here in Los Arcos. I had the Hospitalero help with translation. The two police were very thorough and efficient; they went to a great deal of trouble to record all the necessary details. I fully appreciate now the extent to which the authorities go to limit the occurrence of these problems on the Camino. I haven't reported in the AlertCops App. I had downloaded the App and was in the process of doing so when the Police arrived. I figured it was then unnecessary to double up with the App because the Police did such a thorough job. I do agree however that it ought to be used as a first-response where contact with the Police might be difficult. By way of a more general comment, it has been a somewhat sobering experience and I realise that what I thought was adequate security, was indeed not adequate. In future the wallet and passport will join me in the sleeping bag. Two other things I wish to re-emphasise; my delight in the fact it seems unlikely the thief was a genuine Pilgrim and the fact that it will in no way define my Camino. I am enjoying it immensely and expect to continue doing so. Buen Camino. [/QUOTE]
