Crime Beware

why on earth would you parade a 3500 dollar watch???beats me...a 30 peso watch tells the exact same time...wear that type of thing for house/family parties of course,but in the streets?no way

Hopefully, no one at the next expat gathering will wear an expensive watch.

There is always the possibility a restaurant employee could call someone...

(The same could apply if any expats are heard speaking English in any restaurant...)

It's really something to consider.

All joking aside, I watched a waiter swipe a cell phone off of a customer's table in a restaurant here after he convinced him that some women were giving him the eye and that he should go over and chat them up. After the customer checked out the situation and returned to his table, we let him know where his cell phone was. He went to the manager and they promptly "found" his phone which they tried to convince him that he had lost. This is in a very popular spot that is in all the tourist guides and is loved by locals as well.
