Crime around Marbella

Over the past few weeks I have heard about more and more petty crime happening around Marbella Area.

A popular thing at the moment happening around San Pedro and also in Benahavis, is you walk to your car, as you open the door, someone comes up to you asking for something, whilst another person has opened your passenger door and taken your bag.

At the airport...there are people always hanging about...they come up to you asking for a light for the cigarrette whilst another comes along and takes your bag....this has happened to a number of friends and one before getting on the flight loosing her passport, money, keys...everything.

If you leave things in your car on show....it more than likely will get taken...you used to be able to leave your handbag on the seat...but not anymore.

La Cañada...becareful parking upstairs outside and leaving your boot full of food and stuff whilst you go back into shop.

Carry whats necessary and make sure you have a photocopy of all your cards especially residencia etc.  Its a nightmare to get everything back, but it makes life a little easier when you have a copy for identification.
