Nearly everything stolen in Baja is on the way to the mainland by panga - only minutes thereafter.
Reason for that, in Baja you can find everything, even a stolen elephant.
The stolen goods are brought to Mexico D.F. where there is a huge second hand market and nobody is asking where the merchandise is coming from.

Erendira is on the Pacific side of Baja, not far south of Ensenada. No panga is taking a motorcycle from there, to the mainland. Taking a panga 60
miles across the Sea of Cortes can't be an easy thing to do, either!??

@ DK: I didn`t know where Erendira is located. I was posting my knowledge of Baja Sur in general. There is of course also the possibility to take
things apart and sell parts.

More miles of coastline is along the Pacific side. The odds of talking a motorcycle on a panga any distance are very very slight. Heck, when Cameron
Steele's tour tried to take some from Mulegé across the bay to Punta Concepción, they soon met with disaster! The bikes were fished out, fortunately.
The red/blue arrow points to near Erendira (Coyote Cal's) location on the peninsula.
Maps of Baja are pretty critical to have when discussing Baja subjects, especially if you do not even know where they are.

Thanks DK for the info! Living in Cabo San Lucas and passing through Baja Norte occasionally, makes me not smart enough knowing every village or
little town in Norte. THX again.
Although I was a good friend to JR Baja and he was somehow your preferred enemy, I always admired your capability of submitting those many maps for
information!!

Brad,
Major bummer....my 690 was stolen a few years ago in San Felipe and a series of posters w/ pic I posted around town with a reward of $15,000 MP (about
$1300 Can $$) got the bike back 2 days later....
They steal them usually by rolling them away....I was in a panaderia for 5 minutes when mine was stolen....padlock a disc rotor or cable lock is a
good deterrent, but if they really want it....
I consider myself VERY lucky to have it back.....best of luck with your bike.
Don't believe everything you think....

just this morning on my homepage was a advertisement for these small coin size trackers that work with your smartphone, obviously you need a signal
but they're cheap and designed for your car,bike,boat,electronics,whatever.....anyone looked into these???

That`s a darn good idea!! With an electronic tracking device you can go after your vehicle right away. But you need a signal. Better than calling the
police > as they normally do nothing unless you pay them some mordida.
A friend of mine here in CSL has a BMW R1100S and secures it with a steel cable every time he is off the bike. But a tracking device is the next best
idea!

In person, JR and I were friends... the stuff on Nomad was for drama that JR liked to drum up. He was so funny about that. Carol was also very nice to
know. I have been to their La Barca trailer a few times... photos of one time when we had a get-together there to meet Baja Cactus are posted at
VivaBaja.com.

And I "lived" with him a couple of times on his "bamboo ranch" at San Bartolos. went with him to Los Barriles in the morning for coffee and internet
> he needed to post in BajaNomad every day! "lived" is not quite true. We camped! And coming back from >Los Barriles had to chase off the vacas
having fun with the bamboo sprouts. LOL !

Brad; check impound yards within a 300 mile (mas o meno) area. As in, as far south as San Quintin and El Rosario. A lot of times these coyotes end
up either wrecking them or getting caught, but the local policia aren't going to waste time looking for you; it's up to you to do the footwork. I
know a couple of bikes retrieved like that, then the cops want the reward...... I think not! Anyway, happy hunting, hope you get it back.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Hope the motorcycle shows up. reward is a good start. My car was stolen 2 weeks ago and I did the same thing. BUT info that came back to me was
that the bandits were paying more than I was for protection. Baja is changing fast. By he way JC, in the case of cars they are either parted out
immediately or repainted and sold. No need for registration and plates in many parts of Baja Sur.

Absolutely correct! But with motorcycles it is somehow different, or? I know that there are many cycle stores in Ensenada. Maybe Brad might have luck
looking at them?

Coincidence? Possible! In Craigslist > Motorcycles there is a KTM EXC 530 for sale. BUT: it is said it is a 2009.
Maybe worth looking at it ???
