I can believe that. Maybe they get in more trouble if they hang out 
where the tourists are, which is usually where the beggars get more 
money in this country.

Huh. I was there for a couple weeks, including all around center city, 
and I didn't see anything like that. Mind, I wouldn't be surprised if 
they were arrested and taken somewhere else so they'd stop bothering the 
tourists. :-)

I'll ask relatives if they run into such.
