Answer 1

Well inregards to your jewlery alot of people who purchase expensive jewlery put insurance on it. Did u have insurance on your jewlery? Well that wasn't a smart idea to carry along with jewlery like that next time you should leave all the important valuables at home in a safe?  contact the authorities in nicaragua to see if they found a suite case most of the times they'll end up stealing the items themselves, because it happend to me.but my situation was i left it in a bus and the own bus driver took my stuff.  But i hope this was a lesson.

Answer 2

I agree with the guy who is on top of me because he gave you some excellent advice and tips as to how to prevent another theft.  In regards to your actual case, I seriously do doubt that the Embassy of Nicaragua in Panama would be of any assistance for you should have fixed this problem when you were at the airport in  Managua.  

I would say that it is helpless case and that they won't assist you.  You can try in contacting the Embassy of the United States in Panama to find out what they think and perhaps if they give you some advise.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Please, Yuricko, permit me to answer this question for you.

There is nothing that you can do in Panama except to go to the Embassy of Nicaragua that is in Panama and try your very best to explain to them that everything was taken.

Here are some tips that I am going to give to you:

1. Never flash your money around.

2. Never place your wallet in the back pocket of your pants.

3. Never travel alone.  

4. Never leave your belongings unattended.

5. Safekeep your money by placing it in your front pocket

6. Constantly try to travel with a companion (preferible your wife )

7. Always keep an eye on your belongings (it does includes your laptop computer)
