Thanks, can anyone tell me if the situation is getting better? What should I expect on a typical day/night in San Pedro walking down the main street and in a general restaurant? Thanks again.

My opinion would be it's not worth the time to worry about. We had a guy go past us on a bike while we were walking single file on the beach, and as he reached each person he would say pot? pot? pot? and he just kept going when there was no response, didn't even miss a beat on the pedals. A few people handing out free drink or appetizer coupons for restaurants, no serious hustling that we experienced. We have no worries in town, and very very few on the beach at night. As with anywhere else, don't add to the temptation tho. If you leave a bag on your golf cart when you go in somewhere to eat, chances are about even it won't be there when you return. We feel safer in SP than just about anywhere else we have been (including home).

The vast majority of the locals are the nicest folk you are likely to find anywhere. You have to experience them to believe it.

I've been asked a couple of times, but I just say no thanks. Each time the result has been the same. The person making the offer, profusely apolgized to me. One of them even said, Please don't hate my people because of this. As if I could.
