One comes to mind Gnukid.
Joseph Wambaugh, and I think you'd find his books both entertaining and educational.

Joseph Wood Krutch?
He wrote a book about Baja California that some people like.

Hey, Gnukid-- you've commented quite a bit about the security/corruption problem in BCS; are you aware of this organization? Sounds like they're trying to organize a citizen effort...

I meant people in mexico who are named Joseph and go by the name Joseph-it's Jose or another nickname-rarely I have I ever met a "joseph" nor can any
of my friends think of one.
Though just for hyperbole notice that when you enter an official office, often times the person will say "preguntar para no se quien, Joseph or
Josephina", which means the next available clerk.
The organization you mention, http://www.consejociudadanobcs.org/index.html
I am familiar with in particular in their efforts to rehabilitate youth. I have a few friends that work there. Thats why I know way too many stories,
of the changing nature of crime here. They say, once a youth is involved in drug sales or trafficing large quantities in pangas and cars they won't
give it up or identify the sources because they make money trafficing than they would ever have the chance to earn in any other occupation... they
will have everything they ever dreamed of...
Speaking of youth in trouble, be careful if you visit carnival in La Paz late at night. The police have reported there are, as usual roving gangs of
young males, 10-15 in a group who randomly attack other young males. The first night there were reportedly many minor stabbings, people hit in the
head etc... in the crowds. The victims have no idea who even hit them.
I saw many of the gringo nomad seniors there too, I don't think you are at all at risk but, younger males alone or in small groups are at risk,
especially at midnight-3am.

Back to the subject of someone stealing from Iker's friend in Todos Santos - I just received the folowing information from Iker who has been
investigating. I hope this is of use to others out there. Quote follows:
"Well after some research we discovered that guy that robbed my friend from Japan the $1200 USD and 1000 in traveler checks, was attended in the
health center in Todos Santos and we got a medical recipe that he got from there and
a bank recipt. The name of the guy is RUTLEDGE JOSEPH SCOTT we also found in the trash of my house a pledge recipt of an acoustic guitar and it says
that his adress is 12331 fm 2354 in Baytown Texas height 5-08 born on 06/10/1982, an Amtrak train ticket New Orleans to Del Rio Texas 23 JAN 08,
blockbuster card, phone no 707 4834563 adress 3531-B GA HWY 20 AND A CARD FROM MOVIE GALLERY 2179 FAIRBURN ROAD, DOUGLASVILLE, GA 30135. He is a
thief and all people need to be warned"
It is, of course, possible that these documents did not themselves belong to the guy that was the thief, but I thought I should pass this on in case
others come across the fellow.
