'What should you do if you are the victim of a crime while traveling in Costa Rica'

Remember, when you are traveling to Costa Rica, to take heed of the warnings issued to U.S. travelers by our State Department.

If you are the victim of a theft or other crime while in Costa Rica, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for help.

Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime is the responsibility of local police, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney if needed.

No trackbacks.

The consular officers won't do jack. At best they'll issue you a new passport. They will give you a list of "attorneys" which is no better than looking in the yellow pages.

They might even recommend you resolve the problem by leaving the country.

Don't take more than you can afford to lose when you go out. Don't get drunk and act like an idiot.
