Yikes. That is something to consider. The US is not the beacon of law and order it once was, but other countries are probably worse.
Much worse. At the time these two brothers rented a place every winter for years, this one year a new house keeper tipped of some hombres that they had cash and other tradable assets.
The rest is history
Steven Ines Hartling, 54, died Jan. 16, 2002,
From AM Costa Rica:
because robbers used a phony employee to trick their way into the Alajuela home. Hartling, a recently arrived tourist, just happened to be in a home where the owner hired a woman as a domestic worker the day before. Both the woman and her male companion got 25 years in prison.
25 Years for murder.....Nice place to visit, live not for me
