8 Lap Tops stolen these last 10 days

10 years ago

I mean what I say.. THEY ARE ON IT BIG TIME.. Do not put the lap tops under your seat next to your feet below you. They cut the bag and slip it out from under your seat.. Its happned to 8 Xpats these past 10 days.. They even have broken ones they exchange with the one they steal from you.. Its a shift change from driver to driver now.. Its Chistmas time and they need money fast for there children.. Look for the red cap men that says USMC on there fron sides in the back of the bus.. One will be in front as a decoy and the other will be the point man to squash... Stay out of the way when it hits the fan.. Bus driver is on it and it wil be on tape. The truck will be behind the bus when it stops to evacuate all Americans.. This will happen three times and once on Christmas Eve.. Pass the word around.. The bus from Quito to Manta leaving 8 PM.. The bus that leaves Quito to Cuenca 8 PM and the last bus to be determined on Christmas Eve the biggest traveling day.. If your at the terminal and see them enter the bus do not approach them.. Either stay on the bus and play along or get off and take another bus at a later time.. Cant help you guys on the coast but Quito is getting to many thieves coming in from the coast and we have decided to cleans house over this way.. The rule is you stay over there on the coast and we stay over here in Quito and we will all get along.. WE CAN CLEAN UP QUITO BUT THE COAST TO FAR GONE AND HAS A LONG WAY TO GO.. GOOD LUCK.. PUT YOUR LAP TOPS INSIDE YOUR JACKETS OR ON YOUR LAP OR SIT AT THE BACK OF THE BUS SO YOUR NOT A TARGET..
