Crime In Costa Rica

Ya wonder why crime keeps getting worse and worse in Costa Rica - and why many people don't even bother reporting things??  Yeah there's crime all over the world - and in some places worse - BUT what might be contributing towards Costa Rica standing out from MOST other countries - is how OFTEN this type of story happens (or worse - where the criminal doesn't even get arrested!!!  Or they steal from you and contact you [sometimes even from jail] with how much it will be for YOU to buy whatever back from THEM!!])

Could part of it POSSIBLY be because of THIS type of action???
