Costa Rica now employs a force known as the Policia Turistica who keep a serious eye out that tourists are well protected and assisted as petty theft is very common here. As with all South America countries, keep your valuables under lock and key and padlock or secure down below any valuable loose items on deck. Cruisers who have visited recommend not leaving your boat unattended at night.
Outboard and dinghies appear to be the most popular targets for thieves. Take maximum precautions. Lift and lock your outboard and dinghy at all times (even in daylight when on board) with a big chain so thieves cannot just cut the cables and pry things off with crowbars.
