What about parking in the unfinished building where there is a guard charging $2.00?
People keep saying that Baja is as safe from crime as the U.S., but I don't think I know anywhere in the U.S. where thievery is as sure to happen as
in TJ and parts of Ensenada. Maybe Compton? But I think even Compton is safer during the daytime.turtleandtoad - 11-18-2005 at 08:03 AM
Actually, I was serious. I normally visit the fish market whenever I'm in Ensenada and, in the past, I've always parked on the street by the flag
plaza.
I've never had a problem parking there. Of course I never leave stuff in the car (except the trunk) to tempt the crooks, but I've been hearing about
cars being broken into even there. So I was hoping that there was a guarded parking lot or structure close by where my car would be safer.
Where is this unfinished building? And has anyone been ripped off there?Debra - 11-18-2005 at 02:09 PM
The broken windows almost always cost more than the stuff being stolen. Some jerk (for fun) broke the back window with a rock on my 2004 Taurus it
cost $1100 to replace! The local Novis here told me they had had 15 incidents in that same week.
I always (if possible) leave everything in the trunk, seems it might be a better idea to leave the rig unlocked (let them take the change in the
consol.

I first went to Ensenada in 1959 (age 14) with my father and his friends. We parked in front of a Bar to stop for a drink. A little kid came over
and offered to "guard" our vehicle while we were inside. The friend (who had a casa in Ensenada paid him). When my Dad remarked "what good can a
little kid do if someone messes with your car" ?, the friend replied "If I don't pay him, there's something guaranteed to happen to my car".Cincodemayo - 11-18-2005 at 04:32 PM
Sounds as if the Novis people are reverting to rustling up their own biz....Do as Charles Bronson used to do...hide behind another car with a baseball
bat and reward the scum with a broken kneecap.Dave - 11-18-2005 at 10:33 PM

Given the history, you don't think this might have a more familia r ending? rpleger - 11-19-2005 at 11:18 AM
Just leave the car unlocked and don't carry anything that anyone else would want.
