I've never been to Cabarete and I therefore don't know the housing situation there, but a way to prevent situations like the O.P. described is to only live in gated communities or in buildings with a doorman. This also prevents cockblocking when girls drop by unannounced when you are with another girl. I realize that this isn't a 100% solution, but it is definitely a big help. During my last Mexico trip, I stayed in a gated community and plan on continuing to do so in the future.
I lived in a gated complex with 24 hour security. The security guard was asleep when this happened and there was a palm tree that just happened to obscure the view of the security camera that was pointing at my door, so nothing on tape....
Exactly. Security guards are usually involved in the robberies that happen here in DR. You pay one of them 100 or 200 dollars and he will come up with a story to tell his boss, these gated communities here in DR sometimes can be worse than a normal place. Actually, the majority of gringo incidents always happen in gated communities.
OP you can always come back to DR, how is she going to know that you are here? Go to another city in DR if you think you need to.
