Carry what you need for drinks only.

So true. Only carry what you need. I always keep my passport, credit cards locked up in my apartment. I do carry a photo copy of my passport but that is all.

I encountered this at night also. Chica walks up to grope you and trys your pocket. Best advise only carry what you need. Wear cargo shorts with a buttoned or zippered pocket. Some even have an inside pocket.Use a money belt. Wear Jeans and stash the pesos in the front pocket. Always be aware of where your pesos are and if a chica walks up to you keep one hand in the pocket with your pesos AT ALL TIMES. Dont think your too good to be pickpocketed because thats how some of these people survive day to day so be aware it happens and suspect every person who walks up to you male or female is going to try.

I remember someone starting a thread about "monger pants". It should be a sticky, imo.

Everything i where in the DR (shorts/pants) is cargo where i keep my shit in pockets either zippered or buttoned up. I keep nothing in the regular pockets.

I'm in the discos all night/every night and i've never been pickpocketed. Maybe i've just been lucky or maybe they've tried and came up with nothing in the pockets without me knowing, i can't be sure, but i think if they actually tried to get into the zippered or buttoned parts i'd realize it.

I've gotten into the habit of playing "pocket billards" when walking past Sosua Life and Meruenge Bar or when two girls come up to me on the street at night.
I only loss money once, never again!

My nephew was pick pocketed in some Disco in Sosua when we were both there.. they got like 6,000 pesos or something. It's never happened to me.

Why carry 6,000?

[DRJones]

Get a money belt and one of those wallets that zip and hang on your belt so you put it inside your pants. Do a search for security wallets on google and you'll find several options including socks with zipper pockets, ankle wallets, etc. There have also been a rash of cell phone rips in Sosua and Cabarete.

We do like to eat well. lol.Damn waiters still couldnt get our orders right this trip! We did find a way to speed up service though! After Charlie tucked the tablecloth into his pants, got up and headed for the bathroom our food did come out in record time! ( I guess they didnt like cleaning up broken classes and spilled win and beer on the floors). They got lucky we saved the lit candles or the place could have went up in flames!

Mauri Mai i think...about my favorite restaurant in Sosua...next to Bailey's anyway. La Roca is overrated...gone downhill anyway.

Maura Mai they had candles out on the tables for Valentines day. It had been raining all day and we didnt give a fuck cause it was our first day and we were drunk and soaked. We just showed up. They told us our table was reserved for someone else but after soon realizing how many of us there were we could have that table.I saw Alexandra telling the waiter who told us no something and then all of a sudden this reserved table was ours.

The place was filled with couples all dressed up like they were going to a fancy dinner. And then there was us being loud and breaking stuff in the corner.It was comical.

I am sure they really hated you guys being there! All the way to the bank. Money talks.

La Roca is still a good place for lunch. I gotta have those spring rolls every time I am in town. ONLY order off the locals menu!
