This article discusses the prevalence of attacks on personal property in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the latter half of the 19th century. It examines legislation designed at the time to curtail this problem, including the penal code developed by politician Carlos Tejedor in 1878. The author also studies the efficacy of the administration of these laws, including questions about jurisdiction, citing a crime committed in the area of the Salado River, on the border of the province of Santa Fe. An analysis of the evolution and development of the legal culture in the region from the colonial period to the end of the 19th century is also provided.
