Here is a short tale from the gulch related to me by my novia:
Two new girls appeared at a local watering hole and set up shop. A very nice, wealthy gringo was drinking in the bar and, after a short negocio, he elected to take the two new girls and another girl who has worked there for some time.
Everyone knew the gringo was well-to-do: He flashed a large roll of hundreds every time he paid for anything. He got the three girls back to his room and ordered room service. At some moment, things started to go wrong. He ended up in an argument with the new girls while the established girl was in the bano. When she came out, the man was arguing with the new girls about money and had thrown about a thousand cash on one side of the bed. He tried to argue and eat with his money out on one side of the bed and his wallet out on the other side.
During the confusion, one of the new girls hit the man's wallet for $45,000c. Shortly thereafter, the gent realized the situation was out of control and tossed all three girls out.
When they got back into the bar, the two new girls let the other girl in on the fact that they had lifted a little extra cash (he paid them $100 each even though he never got them nekkid).
The regular didn't like the whole deal. She has worked there for awhile and likes the place and working with her friends. She went to the owner's novia and told her what had happened. The novia ensured that neither of the two new girls would be let back into the establishment.
Bottom line: I met the girls earlier, one the day before. Just my opinion, but I don't think any of them would have taken anything but for the fact that the gringo was drunk and throwing his money around for effect. Now he is a little lighter on cash (I don't know if he was ever advised of the theft) and we are two girls shorter.
Now maybe the two were predisposed to theft, we'll never know. Leaving valuables out, especially when there are several people in the room, is an invitation.
Just a heads-up.
