Seeing Medellin on various episodes of international house hunters and other pieces in newspapers how it's a wonderful place to visit and live is all true. However, the caveat being is that it still is a dangerous place. More western folk will come with their gadgets and freely go to various cafes and be targets. These delinquents can stand around all day and once they see an opportunity, your stuff is theirs. I wouldn't be surprised if some barista is in cohoots with these thieves and notify them to come by and have a pay day.
