really? i have a picturesque ideal of your place. shame :(
Virtually no crimes against women (though they say bad stuff), no gun crime, but robbery is a big problem, metal bars on windows and iron doors stuff.
Friend of mine visited his house in the country and found everything had been stolen even down to the floorboards, doors, wall tiles and window frames.

hmmm, yesterday?
Since the 1800's one new species was discovered every 6 hours, but this has accelerated to about 1 an hour.
So the last one would have been about an hour ago somewhere.
There maybe 10 million different species of beetle and only 2,000 coleopterists in the world.
Two thirds of all insects are beetles, but even more amazingly, if you put all animal and plant species in a row, every 5th one would be a beetle.
And every 10th one would be a weevil.

Indeed it is, but it's pretty good here, you've just got to be sensible.
i had my passport nicked by kids once and four things nicked by guests in my house (!), but otherwise nothing.
It's a poor country so you're bound to get some theft, but car accidents are far more common and dangerous.

Oh, and prisons here are a deterrent, really grim, not the namby pamby European 'prisoner's rights' nonsense.

even better, I kept a level head ( baby sat the group) ... logic took over... lets go back to the flat, there will be a contact number or at least we can get police to location and deal with it from there...

so back we went...one of the lads found them in his bag next to the local 'delicacy' !!
