Sorry to hear you effects were taken.., personal security is important anywhere you live, but even more when you live abroad. People need to make it a habit to secure their effects even if you "just going in for a minute" I've learned this the hard way myself, now I secure everything all the time. I even use a VPN service to log into the internet so I can secure my personal data... Good Luck, be safe and secure!
Thanks for the warning...
