Its a huge organized business wally. This is what I was telling mcb the other day, that people here in United States they don't live with that notion that any minute you can get kidnapped. People go everywhere like mindless dummies, shopping here and there. If you sit and people watch and compare the behaviour of that with people in other countries, its just wow. Other countries nah man, you learn to live on the lookout. Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, all of Venezuela, all of Mexico, very dangerous outside the tourist areas with this racket.

Agree on kidnapping but what about mugging ? Is it as bad as the US as in the cities/countries you mentioned ?
