There are stories all the time of ligitimate taxi drivers killing, and robbing travellers. When I travel to Caracas I never use a taxi or public tranist fromo the airport due to safety concerns. Officials at the airport are very corrupt and anti-american, so please exercise caution.

I love to promote Venezuela, but this is not a place for a day trip - especially if you have never been and even more so if you do not speak spanish.

Some of these cities in the USA are quite dangerous too. These punks today need a swift kick in the you know what. They've been spoiled rotten and you don't have to look far towards the parents, the source and see why they are trash today. Trash is trash no matter what city or where you go.
