Dont wish to worry people but bag snatching is again on the increase.
2 locations in the last 4 days.
Last one with lady staying at md the other from ronil beach.
A lady travelling home alone with daughter from saffron court restaraunt in arpora back to MD and bag snatched from arm on motorbike.
This can and does happen world wide and not just in goa so take care of your bags and belongings ladies whilst out there.
At all time carry the bag to the INSIDE away from traffic and if travelling alone late at night then use taxis.
They are cheap and abundant so dont put yourself at risk
On a lighter note weather is fantasticly hot beer is chilled and restaraunts are as usuall superb.
Of for a swim see you later
Taxi
lady was mugged on the same stretch of road.as said before take that little xtra care where ever you go..............Gavin.
Not sure if it is same mum and daughter but the daughter said she managed to hit the bloke who tried to steal her bag. Happened about 8.30 in the envening.
Well - it gets worse!!! i had my handbag snatched last night - about 3.30 am just off Beach Road - next to Indianas in Candolim. I was walked home right to the entrance and there was definitely no-one in front of us from Bending Bamboos!!! Got my mobile and about 4000 in cash (don't usually carry that much but won on the footie and was gonna buy a bag or 2) Be careful - it was an Indian and i reported it to Calungute police.
a brand new camera that we just bought in Heathrow,and small personal things,claimed on insurance after
giving report to police.This was in Istanbul and not Goa but its still stressful,hope you were not hurt in anyway

Look after yourself, GFF xx
You say you were walked to the entrance? So- did it happen inside the hotel?
I'm ok although not drinking at all now and have changed rooms in case he's been watching me, I did not know him. There's only a couple of people here that I know now, all my friends have gone home. He was very quick indeed, no more late nights now and I'm not going down south on my own.

Well, I found my hairbrush in one of the gardens near to where i stayed and one of the lads on the beach found my purse with my licence still in it!!! Locals think it must be someone working locally who knew the cut through. I don't want to alarm anyone but I've heard of quite a few cases now over the last 2/3 weeks!!!!! What with that and the rain!!
