Manhole theft is reportedly on the rise in Guatemala City. Sold for scrap, each one fetches about twenty eight quetzales (around four US dollars).This wave of opportunistic crime is generating plenty of unexpected repair bills for those of the capital's (predominantly uninsured) drivers whose front tyres stray into these miniature versions of el culo de judas.
Any rubbish bins not actually fixed to the ground are also prone to go walkies.
Meanwhile, my brother-in-law sounded horrified the other day when he reported to me another worrying development on Guatemala's highways − speed cameras! And not just the brightly-coloured ones we now have here in the UK, but cunningly disguised ones. These are the new photo-thresholds that have been advertised:
