well you know, I don't bother with statistics anymore. been to BsAs twice in the last year and never heard a word about express kidnappings, but when I got back to the US I certainly heard about the express kidnappings in BsAs . I can actually say I felt safer walking along the streets of BsAs at 9pm than I would have in Cleveland. the Argentinians I know drive all over BsAs with the 4x4 and last I heard they have not been abducted. all the times I've been to Johannesburg and never had anything happen to me, yet I heard tons of horrible tales. did I mention my briefcase was stolen at Zurich Airport of all places?
