There was a post a few days back asking about safety
in San Felipe, there was no lack of nomads, as one
poster put it,' glorifying the safety of Baja', it was a little
overkill for me. Yes I realize this could happen anywhere
and I've been a san felipe visitor for 20 yrs. While I
agree that historically there is very limited risk of
such an incident in SF, it does occur. this is off the
SF site
We have an unfortunate report from the El Dorado SAFE organization about an elderly resident being the victim of an assault and robbery in downtown
San Felipe:
On Tuesday, March 2nd in the evening hours a 77 year old female El Dorado resident was with her husband and many others at a restaurant in downtown
San Felipe. The restaurant was having its normal “dollar night” special there and many American and Canadians were there. Because of the crowd the
woman and her husband couldn’t park next to the restaurant, but did so around the corner (in a darkened area).
At some point the woman needed something from her vehicle and went outside alone to go to it. She noticed one of the back tires on the vehicle was
flat, and when she approached the car she was attacked by an unknown assailant. He struggled with her for her purse and during the robbery, he
injured her shoulder and arm badly. She was treated locally, but had to be driven back to the U.S. for further treatment. I was told that the police
and Dr. Abosolo were very helpful to the victim. She will be in our prayers for recovery.
