We did have one instance of an attempted pick pocket, my friend chased the guy down, tackled him in front of a jewelry store, which was guarded by a local security guard with an automatic rifle. The guard jumped out pointing the gun and my friend until he takes the wallet back and shows the guard his ID from the wallet proving the guy stole it.
In the maybe 10 or 12 times I have been there, that was the only trouble we had.
Make sure you wear sunblock! I once got severe sun burn/poison there. Put me sick in quarters for 3 days with a high fever. Face and legs peeled 3 times, legs actually peeled the first time like a pair of socks. The ozone seems a lot thinner closer to the equator.
