hi,i was in benidorn on the 6th november 2009 and was mugged by a professional pickpocket it was outside the hotel helios on flippino street he came up behind me grabbed my arm and kicked my legs from under me and stole all my credit cards and 300 euros i ended up in hospital with 5 stictches in my chin and severe bruising on my arms,the police were a complete waste of time,i was not on my own i had a friend with me who gave chase along with other members of the public but to no avail the bastards know there way around. i will not let this put of going back as ive been a few times/iwill be more vigilant.

We've just come back from Benidorm and my father had £340 stolen from his back pocket of his shorts (zipped) it was in the area of the indoor market and the hotel nereo, my partner had her purse stolen from her bag in may in this same area, luckily she only had 25 euros in it.

My parents were stopping at the rio park and an old man on his own got turned over on the yellow brick road late one night.
