Plenty of Brits retire to the golden sands of Marbella and Puerto Banus’s famous harbour is filled will supercars, parked up while their owners enjoy the restaurants and bars.
But one expat, who lived in Marbella for more than seven years and wishes to remain anonymous, says the area definitely deserves its nickname as the Costa del Crime, among civilians and authority: “One of my clients had a rather nice black BMW X5 giving the air of someone with perhaps a bit of wealth,” she said. “Police did a daytime 'routine' stop and check just at the back of Puerto Banús.
“Working as a pair they went through his papers then asked him to step out of the car whilst one put him through some, to be quite frank, embarrassing and unnecessary exercises to prove he wasn’t drunk. They let him go without charge, he reached for his mobile to call a mate and say what idiots the cops had been and - bingo - it was gone, a nice expensive smart phone vanished.
“Seems one had kept him occupied whilst the other rifled through the car. He drove back to confront the police, but guess what? Their 'routine' stop and check point had gone in a flash… You can’t report that crime can you!”
