I can assure you that anyone with a net-worth north of a hundred million dollars (that's how I define "rich tourist")already takes the right precautions when traveling overseas. The kidnappings that you are describing are locally known as: "paseo millonario" Which main goal is to get you to the nearest ATM to withdraw as much as your bank limit allows. There was a notorious case a few years back of a paseo millonario gone horribly wrong when a DEA agent named James Terry Watson found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. There was recently another tourist who made headlines when it was revealed that he had traveled all the way from the Netherlands deliberately to go on a week long drug binge in Bogota's skid row. The hoodlums who ran this place known as "el Bronx" held him hostage when he failed to pay for the drugs he had already consumed. Here's a video of the Dutch guy escaping from his captors:http://www.semana.com/nacion/multimedia/bronx-bogota-asi-secuestraron-los-sayayines-a-un-holandes/475879 http://www.semana.com/nacion/multimedia/bronx-bogota-asi-sec...
