I just returned from Argentina yesterday..without my laptop. We rented an apartment for 7 days in a well known area of Recoleta, nice area with nice stores. As my bags went down in the one person elevator and into the taxi-my laptop disappeared. I had family members in the apartment, in the lobby and in the taxi! The only time it was alone was in the elevator with the portero. The police said that there was a ring where the porteros let the thieves know when tourists are leaving they distract the taxi driver and raid the luggage for the items the portero has told them about or the porteros hold the items for them and get a commission.
