Crime is alive and well in BA

You read a lot about the pick pocketing occurring in BA. Its a big city and there is a lot of economic disparity since the crash of 2001. So, we watch where we put our wallets and keep credit cards and excess cash in the safe in our apartment. We just didn't think about cameras and Marc had his stolen out of its case during rush hour on the subway yesterday. He is a bit surprised since he kept it in front of his chest the whole time, and we had been on the subway several times during the day. Since everyone is pressed together like sardines, you would think you would feel someone stealing your camera. But I guess not. So, you have been warned.

Marc is bummed, not because the camera was a very good one, because it wasn't, but because he feels taken advantage of. We should have put it in my bag, but neither thought of it. Downer.
