ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project?

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???


Alleged drug dealer flees Costa Rica after posting $6,000 bail

October 25th, 2012  – On July 31st, 2011, a man by the last names Zamora Valerio was caught with one TON of “High Red” marijuana.

Zamora, from Nicaragua, was arrested in an operation that had been coordinated with United States coastguard and Costa Rica’s Drug Control Police (PCD, in Spanish).

The man was arrested along with 5 others, four of whom are in preventive detention.

However, a judge allowed Zamora to be freed by posting $6,000 bail, which he quickly paid, and then fled the country . . .

(read the rest of the story at:

Authorities say the man is presumed to have fled to Haiti."


So, what do YOU think???
