Something not right?

Description

On a Sunday afternoon, we attempted to get into our vehicle parked on the street when we were at lunch (for about 1 hour), even though the street parking was paying and secured. The man in charged of the security had only 50m of parking to watch, but "he did not see anything" !! He lied to the police and we are certain he was an accomplice with the thugs.
The police told us that happened often during the weekend in Salento.

Another warning: Be careful walking in the dark outside the centre. We camped at La Serrana hostel and when we were there, 3 girls who stayed in the hostel were robbed at 7.30 pm with a gun, 50 meters before the entranceroad of the hostel. There were 2 robbers, wearing helmets. The girls had to give there luggage and the robbers even did a bodycheck to make sure the girls didn't hide valuables. It's a very dark and quiet road to get to the hostel/camping. Apparently a week before something simular happened somewhere close to this road, so better take a Willy as soon as it gets dark. Besides these sad stories, it feels as a safe town and also the hostel, so definately don't hesitate to come because it's beautiful here, but just be aware.

un dimanche midi, on a tenté de s'introduire dans notre vehicule stationné dans la rue lorsque nous dinions ( absence 1 heure) , même si le stationnement de rue etait payant et surveillé. L'homme n'avait que 50m de stationnement à surveiller, mais " il n'a rien vu"!! il a menti a la police et nous sommes certain qu'il etait complice avec les voyoux.

la police nous a dit qu'il y a souvent des vols la fin de semaine dans les rues de Salento.
