Don't Let Them Hurt Me

My friend Ames emailed me this piece of advice for our stay in Lima:

"kidnapping is a common thing so if you are taken, just give them your money and bag. they probably won't do anything else to you."

Wha??

OK, now I'm a bit scared. If you're reading this and you don't hear from me for a few weeks, now you know where I am. And if my captors try to call you, do whatever they ask of you. Don't let them hurt me, please.

Thanks.
