nastily mugged by three of the locals as he finished some shopping and was
walking to find a cab to get back to the hotel. He's just spent half an
hour with the police who said that he was probably tripped (he thought he
slipped on some wet stairs) and one went for the shopping, one for the
mobile and one for his wallet. While he is not in fabulous shape he did say
that two of the muggers were in worse shape than him and one got away with
the goodies. So please, can you spare some good thoughts for him?

Yep that's my DH! He's checked with his travel insurance and that has a
$500US excess. Not worth it for what he lost (about $300AU). He's checking
with AmEx in the morning..

No, no fabric! Apparently Clinique makeup is dirt cheap over there and
he'd
bought a heap of that. Rats! Still least he's in one (sore and sorry)
piece!

Hope he paid with his credit card - I seem to remember that some of
the adds used to show a foreign traveller loosing his newly bought
goods but being able to claim on insurance. Don't know if all cards do
this but worth checking.

Oh dear, too many bruises in one family, but he has his moment of
glory to talk about - capturing two single handed - like the hero from
a film!

It's shocking really. Governments are encouraging tourism like there is no
tomorrow,but hearing about this - would YOU go there?

How terrible for him - and how terrible for you to hear about it and now
be
with him. Healing thoughts go out to both of you! I hope they catch the
*******s!

I work with a young man who went for a training class in Minneapolis of
all
places and was mugged. They stole his wallet and then proceeded to kick
him
the in the head repeatedly. His face was pretty messed up and he needed
stitches above one eye. Someone found his wallet and returned it to him,
empty of course. He wasn't concerned as much about his minimal cash or
credit cards, but he was worried about his driver's license since it was
his
source of ID for the airport. What is this world coming to?

LOL - believe he may have sat on one while holding the other. Moral of
the
story, never try to steal my DH's phone! Think he was more upset at the
possiblity of losing that than of the shopping he lost. The two he had
hold
of have been charged although police hold little hope of getting the
third
one.
