The area around Bella Vista Mall is now known for its high crime rate (muggins, break-ins and car theft). I've heard that the barrio three blocks away (behind Farmacia Brasil), known as "El Semillero" the police won't dare enter. I recently installed one of those radar alarms that bark like a Doberman Pinscher when it picks up movement through the wall. Anyone approaching the vecinity of my front door is greeted with loud barking. When there's a knock on the door, the members of my household have been instructed to say, "wait, I'm going to chain the dog", before opening. Even the neighbors believe we have a wild pitbull roaming freely inside the apartment.
