Thanks for the information. I agree, I even literally chain my yeti coolers into the bed of my truck when traveling in the good ole USA.Is crime bad in Albuquerque ? Philly ??? It only takes once for something to ruin your entire trip & commit a felony in Spain. I experienced no problems at all. No problems in Madrid. But the word is, there are pickpockets there, and I'm sure there are. I heard Barcelona is bad. I experienced no problems there at all. But it only takes once & you're out a rifle and committed a serious crime.
When I travel the USA to hunt, my rifle is literally chained down to the back of my truck.
My contractor stole 2 bottles of whisky from my liquor cabinet.
My daughter had her truck window smashed for ear pods.
I heard Canada is particularly bad, and I met guys in camp that lost everything traveling through Canada at a dinner stop.
The trip to the consulate may be the deal breaker. Too much of a hassle.
