Just in case anyone hasn't heard, we've had two wikimania delegates have their bags stolen so far, so please be extra careful in BA.
Thanks for your info. In which area are their bags stolen?
--Takashi@IAH
One of them was apparently walking through the Retiro train station area with her backpack and handbag --that's not a nice area to wander around, even for us locals. The other one was at a bar in San Telmo and let her bag under the chair, and so someone profited from a moment of distraction. San Telmo is not unsafe, but is tremendously touristy.
