As an Argentine citizen, I can vouch for everything said above. Indeed, some political parties give buses and free food to people as "motivation" to vote (even though voting is mandatory). Since being a child I've known that on a long distance bus, or airplane, you never put anything remotely valuable in our luggage, and carry those things with you. Otherwise they'll be stolen. It's not "they might be stolen", it's very much a hard rule.
