got robbed yesterday

4x4abc - 12-29-2021 at 08:25 AM

confronted some people digging graves for a couple of dead dogs in front of my house
they ripped the phone out of my hand and attacked me with a machete when I ran after them
police arrived fast, but the perps were long gone

not a good day in Baja

Whoa, that's pretty scary. Were you filming them? Thank goodness you weren't injured.

All because of a cheap piece of electronics. I guess you never know.

yeah, I took pictures of them

the 2 dogs they were putting in the ground looked like they had been beaten to death
not the usual dog fight wounds

Some here would suggest when being robbed, you give the perps whatever they want. I'm not one to suggest that.

I'm wondering if you have a machete handy?

I'm sorry to hear this news 4x4. Hopefully your photos automatically upload to your google account. I have mine and the wifes' set up like this for this very reason. They are also set up to geolocate and turn off if I send a signal from my laptop or another phone.

If you have pics, can you post them? Ya never know who may recognize the perps.

Sorry you had to go through that Harald... Why would anyone bury anything in a street or close to a home??!! A short drive from your place would be away from people.

Always look on the bright side of life!

I am so sorry to hear this. It is AWFUL. If they beat the dogs, they are sick humans. To attack you is even sicker.

4x4abc - 12-29-2021 at 04:54 PM

too many bad people on this planet

David K - 12-29-2021 at 05:50 PM

Time to find a new planet???

azucena - 12-29-2021 at 08:47 PM

What happened to you is just horrible! I think about now whomever did this experiment of having humans on the earth is thinking it has not gone so well..

100X - 12-30-2021 at 10:20 AM

Very sorry Harald, and glad you are okay. It can happen to any of us for sure.

Oh well. Confronting often leads to confrontation.
Good you are not hurt at least.

BTW, So I don't have to post on another thread, keep the GE Baja research coming.

The data bases you are putting together on waterfalls, ECR and other interesting points is a real asset to this board. Gracias!

Vince - 12-30-2021 at 12:38 PM

That is a damn shame about the robbery of your phone. I wish I could find my slides from Diablo canyon taken 65 years ago. We came across some good waterfalls and pools, one of which we had to swim across to get up the canyon.

I have everything you would ever want

Jesuit water lines

Boleo ranchos and water projects

buildings with meridians (alignments to other locations)

narco airstrips

UFO landing sites

etc etc

RFClark - 12-30-2021 at 01:54 PM

Harald,
Glad you’re OK! The people who attacked you probably didn't vote in the US election!

Maybe if Mexico allowed gringos to pack side arms banditos would think twice.
Has there EVER been an incidence of a gringo robbing down in Mexico?

You mean besides texas,Arizona, new Mexico, Colorado and California?
In my 15 years here, the only time I was ripped off was a gringo.

Sorry to hear of your incident.


Dog fighting is popular some places. If they looked like those types of dogs, they obviously lost $$$, and were peeed. Those types that fight dogs are criminals, so stealing a phone would be natural reaction.

Impunity in this country is out of hand, not sure it can be fixed.

thats what makes this so bizarre, are these the type of folks that would bother burying a dog! let alone in Harald's front yard??

If they beat it, would they bother to bury it? Probably leave it where it lays.
If it was their dog, they might.

4x4abc - 12-30-2021 at 07:25 PM

2 big dogs - they looked like they were beaten to death

100X - 12-30-2021 at 08:11 PM

Harald, much respect, but this was an ex president's fault, not from global warming or election fraud?

rather than finding a new planet, I proposed to get rid of the bad people (the Trumps) on this planet

always been silly

BajaTed - 12-31-2021 at 11:18 AM

I'd suggest getting a legal "Mexican" pistol. My 90 lb. male Boxer is really defensive around strangers in strange place, Ask questions later is his modus operandi.
I got his back, he's got mine, been that way for 15K years.

sanquintinsince73 - 12-31-2021 at 04:55 PM

Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron are in Baja burying dogs?!
