Re: crime rate
Lot of burglaries down here at the moment concentrating on the Coin and Alhaurin el Grande borders. Mainly early evening and very professional.
Lookout Hilly, the Guadahorce gang are on the prowl!!!
I have already sharpened the baseball bat and made sure I have plenty of ammo for the old airpistol!!!!!!

Re: crime rate
I think we already have our own gangs up here!
There have been quite a few burglaries/break ins in the Sevilla area in the last few weeks that I know of...including one on my own property...don´t suppose it is a new phenomenon though or necessarily an indication of an increase in crime levels...probably just that I´ve lived here long enough and know more people now to hear of these things...if you get what I mean.

Re: crime rate
In 2005 the junta de Andulucia released there were 446 known Mafia groups operating in the Costa Del Sol area.
There have been incidents where gas has been introduced into the air con units of houses and used to sleep the occupants whilst they break in.
Its always been a myth that Spain had low crime rates, its always existed the same as the UK there are many small villages that rarely experience crime, same with Spains small Pueblo`s.
The only place I`ve seen strangers injecting Drugs in public has been in Spain, in Plaza Espana in Seville.

Re: crime rate
I think jdr is referring to the fact that it is a bit of an urban myth.
and yeah, I'm sure you know a guy named leaky lee who knows a bloke called Benny the Fence who knows a couple, (he used to be in the SAS you know) who had it done to them, but in truth, its almost impossible to do.

Re: crime rate
Especially as most aircon units don't actually pump air but refridgerant to internally mounted heat exchangers. You could 'pump gas in' all day and night and all you'll do is gas the outside air.
But let's assume you 'could' do this. It would have to be an anaesthetic gas - i.e. something that displaces oxygen from the lungs. Now, it was a couple of decades since doing this at school, but I seem to recall it's quite a fine line between the 'wide awake' state and 'dead' state.
Even the Russian security services 'attempted' this feat in a theatre siege some years ago, the result being the killing of a large number of the occupants in the process.
If it's genuinely possible to meter accurate doses of anaesthetic gas into something the volume of a house with no ill-effects other than a 'slight headache', we could slash NHS bills by sacking all the operating theatre staff in the world because they clearly aren't necessary!

Re: crime rate
The lady i rent my rented property from on the costa del sol mentioned gassing when i was over sorting the house. Not in riveria where i am but north by Malaga. Says a lot of houses have been targetted and cs gas being used to shock, keep the owners at bay while they ransack the house.
They have just had an alarm fitted what fills the house with smoke or something if the house is broken into.

all sorts of stories have been spun about regarding the gas robbers, as yet no one has actually come forward with any proof.
