El Tempisque Break in

Source: We received permission from victim to post information that was posted on a local forum
Location: El Tempisque
Entry: He/she entered our house easily, this morning at 2:30, under the nose of our sleeping dog and his sleeping masters!! Actually, our house was quite full with 5 family members from out of the country present. We had to leave one door open for two of them who were sleeping in the ex-studio outside the house
Description: My wife was not sleeping well when she heard a noise and saw a body with a tiny flash lite going through my pants pockets. As she shouted I felt somebody go past our bed. We both ran out of the bedroom, but he/she was gone. We found bags lying on the floor and realized that he/she had grabbed my wife's hand bag and purse.

  Three of our visitors were to leave for the airport at 6.15am and the other two at 9.00am. We had lots on our hands, including making all the phone calls for the credit cards.

 When we came back from the airport, one of our sons saw my wife's bag and wallet lying on the sofa with all the credit cards!! Looks like the robber is either quite civilized, just too young or too stupid to be able to use credit cards for which we are very grateful. Of course quite a lot of pesos were gone. So, people in these two areas should be on the look out. This robber is quite smart and can scale difficult fences."
