I was in a bind and I had to leave my bike on the street for a couple nights in Miraflores next to a security booth.
When I left I got a flat(rear) and I had to leave my bike at a mechanic and get a scooter ride, tire and all to get it patched. When all was said and done, I was back on the road and one of my front brake calipers came off and started knocking against the rim! Both retaining bolts had been removed! The rear tire had the flat and no one had touched the front while I was around.
Either it happened the night before or at the shop, be careful. Lima can be a dodgy place with horrific driving.
