There was one similar to this in Parque La Sabana CR in October where they went for a guys laptop and I guess he resisted so they executed him.

Is having or carrying public a gad-damn laptop worth it??

It freaks me out when I see a teller using their cell phone while I am being served by one of them. That should have been outlawed long ago.

"This is a very clear case of the bank teller or a bank employee tipping off the sicarios"

How is this clear??? Did I miss a report?

Not everything in Colombia is written out for you.

For exam, when they show up at your business to receive protection money, you don't ask them to show you the legal clause that permits it. You understand it's this way or no more business.

You now some other way the criminals would know both her name and the exact amount she withdrew earlier?

The very few times I had to stand in line at the bank in Villavicencio, there were armed guards that would not allow people to use their cell phones. Of course, I noticed a guard or two using THEIR cell phone at their leisure. The Colombian bank experience gives me the creeps.

Rob77 says on Dec 19, 2007, 15:29:

All the banks have the no cell phone policy. But I stood in front of tellers many times, watching them have a conversation on their cell, while they were attending to me.
