Crime in Quito, Ecuador

I spent a couple weeks in Quito in June 2019. I was solo and spent a lot of time in La Mariscal but because I was solo didn't risk going out much at night (basically at all as everything around my hotel closed at night other than nearby bars). Overall, the trip was fine. I went up the Telefrico multiple times solo (in spite of the online warnings of rape and murder) and had no problems other than the [changed word] who didn't think I understood enough Spanish to understand he had problems with my naranja backpack for some reason. I had a couple of incidents where people randomly insulted me in English. One guy from some random apartment yelled "hey geek" (great insult!) as I was walking along Avenida Amazonas presumably because I wear glasses and had a 15-16 year old girl call me a "loser" as she biked by me I guess because I'm a middle-aged white dude travelling solo. I also had a store clerk try to short change me 10-15$ US, a clerk in a mid-market hotel try to short change me $2-3 and was constantly trying to figure out what the gringo price is. Water was everywhere from 50 cents to a dollar and would often change from day to day even with the same clerk, at the same store, for the same brand of water. I also got bad food poisioning from a Dominican restauraunt in La Mariscal. On a few occassions I think I was being sized up by one of the local glue sniffers or whatever he was using who I kept running into in the sidestreets near Colon and Amazonas but didn't have any problems as it was the middle of the day. Having people insult you just because you're a foreigner doesn't leave a good impression but at the end of the day the worst I experienced was inflated prices in the corner stores...well, other than the indigenous woman who almost ran me over making a left hand turn onto the side street i was crossing...if i didn't know any better i would say she was trying to clip me at least a little bit

Quito is very safe City,for sure ther is small crime llike any where else , I spend all my years vacation 2 months there
Remember Quito it is one of the safest city in South America , I will back to get small home for $40,000 and live to the end of my existens around volcanos and spring mineral water .
