点评:We stopped by the side of the road with our friends to see the Tárcoles crocodiles in Costa Rica. It only took about 10–15 minutes, but by the time we returned to our locked car, our bags—containing laptops, cash, passports, and personal belongings—were gone.
We reported it to the police immediately. Luckily, one of us got a location ping from their AirPods. We tracked the signal to a pretty sketchy, rough neighborhood. The pin led us directly to a house. The people living there were acting very strange; at first, they didn't even want to talk to us or answer why we were driving onto their property. One of our friends walked around the property accompanied by a resident, but we didn't find anything.
Then, a white car pulled up and honked at us (or at the residents), but no one got out. Since our friend spotted another AirPods signal nearby, we decided to follow that instead. Meanwhile, one of the resident women walked over to the white car, holding something in her hand, staring at us while talking to the people inside. Maybe I'm just paranoid because the whole ordeal was terrifying, but my gut tells me they were involved.
Following the second signal, we finally found all our bags tossed into the woods by the roadside. The thieves had left behind what was useless to them—clothes, charging cables, notebooks—but all electronics and cash were stolen. Fortunately, our passports were still in the bags.
After reading up on it later, we found out that organized crime operates heavily in this area. We strongly advise anyone visiting the crocodiles to park only in monitored lots with security cameras. If your belongings do get stolen, check this GPS coordinate: 9°53'06.3"N 84°35'01.9"W.
We suspect this location and these residents: 9.883171, -84.581517
翻译:我们和朋友们停在路边,观看哥斯达黎加的塔尔科莱斯河鳄鱼。整个过程只花了10到15分钟左右,但当我们回到锁好的车旁时,装着笔记本电脑、现金、护照以及各种个人物品的包包却不见了。
我们立刻报了警。幸运的是,我们当中有一个人通过AirPods收到了定位信号。我们顺着信号找到了一个环境相当混乱、治安不佳的街区。最终,那个定位点指向了一栋房子。住在那里的人行为非常奇怪;起初,他们甚至不愿和我们交谈,也不肯解释我们为何能开车进入他们的领地。我们的一个朋友在一名当地居民的陪同下在领地内四处查看,但什么也没发现。
随后,一辆白色汽车驶来,朝我们(或者那些居民)按了喇叭,但没有人下车。由于我们的朋友在附近发现了另一个AirPods信号,我们便决定去追踪那个信号。与此同时,其中一名女居民朝那辆白色汽车走了过去。她手里拿着什么东西,一边和里面的人说话,一边盯着我们。也许是我多疑了,毕竟整个经历太可怕了;但直觉告诉我,他们肯定参与其中。
收到第二个信号后,我们终于在路边的树林里找到了所有被扔掉的行李。小偷们把对他们没用的东西都留下了——衣服、充电线、笔记本——但所有的电子产品和现金都被偷走了。幸运的是,我们的护照还留在包里。
后来我查阅了相关资料……我们发现有组织犯罪团伙在此地区活动频繁。我们强烈建议前往观赏鳄鱼的游客务必将车停在装有监控摄像头的停车场内。如果您的财物不幸被盗,请查看这个GPS坐标:北纬9°53'06.3",西经84°35'01.9"。
我们怀疑该地点以及以下居民与此事有关:9.883171, -84.581517。
