We arrived fairly early at the Jesuit albergue, "Emaus" one of the first albergues in Burgos, about two hours before the two o'clock opening sign. A young Italian couple had arrived just ahead of us. We were milling about, thinking about getting a coffee, when a young man wearing a crucifix, who spoke very good English said it's ok to leave our packs by the door, or even in the church "everyone does and it's completely safe". You get lulled into a sense of trust on the Camino, but this didn't sound right to me, so we moved on. The Italian couple took his advice, and when they returned a couple hours later, one of their packs was gone. Fortunately, they kept their cash, credentials etc in a bag with them, but clothes, toiletries, backpack, spare footwear were gone.
Sad, but hopefully others won't fall victim.
