I have some story to tell you about my trip to The elche spain, which i very regret with the police reaction as a tourist.
We have a business trip in elche from 2-7 feb 2020, we go everywhere with our suplier as our driver, unfortunately our last day hotel was sold out at 6, so we have to move to another hotel, and after go to some place with suplier, we going to ARECA HOTEL ELCHE, torrelano. and his friend suddenly appeared, in the middle of the conversation his friend suddenly permission to go home. 10 minutes later we also followed. when I opened the car door I was shock because one of my small suitcases in the middle seat was lost, then we opened the trunk and the other suitcases were all gone without any damage to the car, does this make sense ?? and that place i think is not tourist area too
And after that we go to the police station with my supplier, and i ask the police is it normal if nothing broken in the car? The police said its not normal, and i please the police to check if there is something broken in the car that we didnt notice. But the police didnt do anything. And when we also tell the police something about what happened in the restaurant and tell a bit suspect. The police also didnt have reaction, althought i said that i have precious thing in my luggage, the police didnt do any reaction, how can police in spain just stand like that when they say elche is the one of the lowest criminal place in spain
I just feel its to horrible when pickpocet in spain is not a secret again, but we never see police do a patrol. Even in tourist location in spain. I just so regret when government that didnt to anything. We as a tourist feel very dissapointed. I think in may be affected tourism in spain, when all of the target of the pickpocket almost all is tourist. And the police didnt do anything.
when i go to rusia the tour guide also said. 7 of 10 his guest go to spain almost have pickpocket experience, and how they dissapointed with the police reaction like they didnt care that happen to tourist. And all say no more for spain, its very dangerous! If government didnt do anything, i think someday it can effect the tourism in spain
