I felt totally safe almost everywhere in Colombia. People are so nice and helpful in Colombia. But I think the parade was just a good opportunity. And there are thieves all over the world!
This was our first Pride. We lived in Atlanta so many years but I always thought it would be a pain to get to the celebration (public transportation and parking-wise). I'm really glad our school wanted to go. It was lots of fun until the phone thing. Going to Pride in a country outside the US was really special.
I have to remember that these thieves are good. It's their profession. They are always looking for an opportunity.
Good title! I kept wondering what was going to be taken and when.
Sorry you lost your phone. And also glad you seem to have taken it in stride.
I had a camera taken on a New York subway. I had a similar response. I had been careless with the camera. I hated to lose it. But I saw immediately I should have carried it in a different way. It was so tempting clipped to the outside of my bag.
And I have been to many a Pride and loved them all!
What a bummer! I was pickpocket once in Quito and they took my phone also .. but 6 years abroad that was the only time..never here in Colombia
