Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia: Happily most of my trip over the last five months has happened without incident. It’s been wonderful: better than I could have imagined. 
That was until last night. The hostel I’m staying in is in an old colonial building which has balconies on the second story overlooking the street. Apparently it is easy for an enterprising thief to get onto the balconies and into the dorm rooms. 
My phone was under my pillow but most have become dislodged during the night. It was taken along with 50,000 pesos that were in my pants pockets. Thankfully that’s only $20, but the thief was thorough. 
Needless to say don’t stay at the Masaya Hostel in Santa Marta.
