@MLClark Look, you do not know me, but this worries me.
Why are you staying there if it is so dangerous? Again, do not know the area. Please, just play life safe.
Again, I am sorry. I see this stuff & I go into Dad Mode.
@Nick_Searles My life in Colombia has different issues than my life in Canada had. In Canada I was a pretty depressed cookie all the time. Colombia has many wonderful facets, including perspectives on life that come from a more acute awareness of poverty and its impact.
That poverty is what led to my robbery tonight - poverty, and my own inattentiveness. The last time I was robbed was three years ago. I'm usually much less of an easy target.
Thank you, though! I appreciate the concern.
@MLClark Poverty does this all over. Just keep your eyes open. And if you come here, head to my NJ. Safer than a red state, lol.
@Nick_Searles Ah, it's just life in Colombia. This has been my home for five years and I know the systems of poverty that make "dando papaya" (presenting an easy target) my responsibility to avoid. I let my guard down because there were so many neighbours about. I genuinely should have known better, and usually do.
I'm good. It's just a material good that I lost tonight. But thanks for the concern!
