- The dangers of being robbed in Costa Rican streets
- Robbers target females and foreign travellers
- They try to take anything you have on you, might even hurt you to get it
- Anywhere in Costa Rica can be dangerous
- Anytime in the day but normally later at night
- They try to threaten you to scare you so they can take your things
- There are plenty of stakeholders in this problem like, police, the robbers and the foreign and females getting robbed, plus there are the witnesses that see the robberies
- I feel that this is a very bad situation and the police should try better to control it, it shouldn't be a problem if you dont keep a lot on you while travelling and you stay out of backstreets and weird areas
