The article says an American, named Richard Cameron, 66 years old, was being held by two women who were stealing his pension checks. The women are María Gómez and Candelaria Ortiz, both 42 years old. They would take him to San Ysidro to collect his pension check and cash it. Family of the man reported the women. He is said to be mentally unsound.

He lived in a room on Díaz Mirón, between 3rd and 4th.

Are you trying to say cirme is worse in Mexico? You failed.

Those of us that live here full-time know it's better, though it's not for everyone just look at Vegas, I mean CaboRon

Touchy, touchy Stan. I know why you are so upset. You quit your job at TRW and have been living off of Mary Jo's Air Force pension. That TJ story hit a little too close to home, eh? You're the drone whose job is to service the queen and feed the cats, right?

I didn't say crime is worse in Mexico, these guys did....as if you didn't already know.

Come to terms, Stan. You bought that fixer in Santiago, sunk a chunk of change into it on the hopes it would appreciate. Deal with your reality, don't take it out on others.

The article says they wanted to, but they couldn't get some old Gringo in an even older Cadilliac off his nalga.

drone... ouch

k-rico - 8-30-2009 at 09:33 AM

He is "said to be mentally unsound". By who? Maybe "the sayer" thinks so because he "enjoyed" his two friendly Mexicanas and he is a generous man. I'd like to hear what he has to say.

Bajahowodd - 8-30-2009 at 12:19 PM

Good point, rico. the article says that it was assumed he was mentally unsound. By who?

Osprey - 8-30-2009 at 12:56 PM

Could happen to anyone. Once, when I was in my twenties, two gorgeous young girls picked me up hitchhiking, drove to a secluded spot, showed me their pistols and ordered me to fullfil their sexual cravings and fantasies or they would shoot me dead.

Well arrowhead, glad to see you can do searches on the internet. However what you failed to determine is that I am retired from the air force and have my own pension. And fixer-upper. Yea I bought it, but as my home. I have no intentions of turning it for a profit. hell out of the 8 houses I owned in the US I never made a profit, why would I expect to make one here?

Touchy, no just tired of those who spend the majority of their time north of the border tellig everyone how unsafe is is en Mexico.

VegasRon, good jog at adding another another notch in your post count. very similar amount of time registered, yet you have 30 times the posts and you still haven't said anything unless you think the icons and cut and pastes are original thoughts.

Mexico arrests 2 for allegedly kidnapping American

By MARIANA MARTINEZ (AP) – 1 day ago

TIJUANA, Mexico — Police arrested two women Saturday for allegedly holding an American retiree captive in his Tijuana home and forcing him to write them checks.

Police went to the home after receiving an anonymous tip that Richard Mattson, 65, was being held captive there, police spokesman Ernesto Alvaro said. Officers found Mattson inside and arrested the two women.

Alvaro said the women took advantage of "mental lapses" suffered by Mattson, holding him captive for four days, forcing him to write checks for them and selling his furniture. He said the women refused to allow relatives who called the apartment to speak with Mattson.

The women were found with drugs and a check for 1,500 pesos ($113) signed by Mattson, Alvaro said.

Mattson, of Tacoma, Washington, said the women stole more than $4,000 from him. He declined to say how he met the women, whom police described as sex workers.

"These women gave me a very hard time. They held me captive and stole more than $4,000 from me," Mattson told The Associated Press at the police station.

One of the women, Candelaria Ortiz, denied kidnapping Mattson.

"We did not hold him captive. He came and went whenever he wanted. He had his own keys. How can he say he was captive?" Ortiz told AP from inside a police car parked outside the station.

Mexico has one of the world's highest kidnapping rates. The Mexican government says about 97 kidnappings are reported each month but acknowledges most abductions go unreported because of fear that police themselves may be involved.

The nonprofit Citizens' Institute for Crime Studies estimates the real rate is closer to 500 a month.

Mattson, who moved to Tijuana eight months ago, said he wants to stay in Mexico.

"Life here cost me a third of what it would in the United States. Beside, I really like it, even after this experience," he said.

What happens in TJ, doesn't stay there

Aha! Using the old guy for sex, WAS involved. They gave him "a hard time". Could he have returned the favor? Perhaps with some of those specialty drugs. CrapoRon knows for sure.

Four day drug and check writing binge with two sex workers hardly seems a reason to get into the news. Happens every day in Las Vegas, doesn't it, Cabron? Actually, it is not only tolerated in Vegas, the local economy relies on it.

And the so-called victim says he wants to stay in Mexico. What does that tell us?

It tells us the old guy has a clear understanding that feel-good cultural interchange isn't free.

Those sex workers must have been r-e-e-ealy talented?

Jeeze, look at the video of that poor old guy. The Mexcians should do him a favor and send him back NOB. His family has to ask for a competency hearing to establish a conservatorship over him. He needs to be in congregate care. He's just going to lose his pension check every month.

That was quite a pair of cuties.

He should have a keeper or whatever they're called to handle his extensive financial affairs. Who, these days, gets a paper check anyway?

Bajahowodd - 8-31-2009 at 11:44 PM

He's 66?

10 to 20 years ago.
