Neddie,
you made the point by reading the comments on the post you had. It can happened anywhere!!!
common sense and knowing your surrounding is still the best solution anywhere.

as to epaulino4 and Gazpacho, I must said, anybody can do these things ,name calling is not needed. That Spain has more crime today than before...yes it is also wealthy than before, I remember those days when there was no phones and roads to travel by car, but dirt roads and calling from the nearby restaurant. I am old enough to know all stages of Spain modern life.
AND
now its better!!!
