Hookers stole my laptop in Panama!

Hookers are pretty easy to spot. Especially the fat ones, they're HUGE!

holy geez guys, what's with the third degree? Who cares if they were prostitutes or not, if they flogged his computer I think he's entitled to have a slur or two at them.

He doesn't have to prove anything to any of you, he's just here to warn people to be more careful than he was. Is there something wrong with that?

He was having an interesting conversation & can't even be sure that it was the alleged hookers who did the dastardly deed.

I'm with you 100% on this one Busman. Not sure what some of the other posters are thinking.

Boy, the poor guy will know never to look for any sympathy from this tough bunch.

Bunch of pussies here compared to Thorn Tree Thugs.

Yeah this is nothing compared to the grilling he got at Thorn Tree. And I kind of doubt that sympathy was part of his motivation for posting.

Yeah can you spell M*0*N*E*Y can't blame a guy for trying + it generates hits on his blog = money

It's certainly possible they weren't hookers. But based on my experience in Latin America, I have little doubt. I've met plenty of nice, wholesome Latin American women. These three did not fit that description...

They were on a mission, and it's goal was us (well at first it was us, then it was my computer).

Sure, there's a high possibility that random women find me completely irresistible, and rush over to sit next to me the second they lay eyes upon my giant...

nose, then proceed to wink and seductively pout their lips in my direction until I fork over money for...

a drink. But I doubt it.

Special notice to any old white gringos traveling in Central America:
Those young, hot, Latin chicas giving you all kinds of loving attention that you never received in your home country aren't attracted to your manly good looks or glowing personality...

I certainly wouldn´t take my laptop to a bar. But on the other hand, I have been in dodgy hotels, where I couldn´t trust to leave my valuables, even with the hotel staff downstairs. Faced with that kind of situation, I guess I´d take my laptop with me. But then again, I don´t travel with a laptop anyway. I have a tiny little HTC that does everything a laptop does and is easier to stick in your pocket. Interesting story, though. Maybe the hookers wanted to record some nice porn movies using the laptop.

Since we are talking about hookers and porn i might as well fess up and admit that today was my first day to go to one of those coffe shops where the girls wear little at all. My guys who are repairing my summer home were telling me that all the girl wore was some pasties and a g string. i have to admit i woke up in the middle of the night thinking about her and so decided to echeck out the coffee situation. And so i turn up at 10:30 and she is a beaut, but wearing a halter top and stretch pants. I bought my 3 buck coffee, and went on my way wondering what my karma was up to oir did she see me coming and decided I was too old for that kind of thing and quickly dressed. Sigh....

That is a real hooker $3 for a coffee & a smile, had ev paid for the ladies services (if indeed they were in the business??) he not only would of gotten value for his money but still had his laptop.

A cafe with legs, Zoom? THey are catch as catch can, and sort a lame, really. Chile is full of them. But I don't get the attraction.

Sometimes you just have to ignore the comonplace and accept adventure. It is usually just around the corner. Reminds me of the time i was in Paris and had a guy chatting me up and then putting his hand on my but and giving it a good grip. I jumped a little , told him hey no way, and the when i thought about it realized I still had what it took, just the wrong sex this time. My wife really had a hoot over that one and said my gay side must have been on parade that day.

but what i really wish i had done, was move from my seat in the back of the bus in Guatemala and get right behind this one sloe eyed gal that had the fullest lips and these big bedroom eyes that occaassionally would half way turn around and give me the glance. i wish only to have done some closups of her face. later when she got up i noticed her behind had gottne a jump start on her development and was a little crestfallen. Instead i stayed in the back of the bus with the toothless mango farmer. God, what brought all this on. i am so rummy i think i better head to bed for the night. My subconsicous or something is taking over the situation.

UPDATE: After 3 months, my computer's theft tracking software has just started sending me reports!!!

I have photos, screenshots, and location information on the people who currently have my stolen Macbook Pro.

More details on my blog if you want to follow along as I attempt to recover it from over 4000 miles away.
