Cancun beach closed because it was stolen
A tourist climbs over police tape after Mexican federal environmental authorities and navy sailors closed a section of beach built by illegally
pumping sand from the ocean bottom to combat erosion at a hotel in Cancun, Mexico, Thursday, July 30, 2009. Five people were detained in the incident.
While Cancun suffers severe beach erosion problems caused by recent hurricanes and storms, authorities say such unauthorized private efforts only
worsen the problem.

Maybe part of the erosion problem is caused by all the cows spewing to much methane gas, causing the sand to blow away.

Very tourist saavy aren't they? How stupid do you have to be close and tape off a hotel beach because the sand is "stolen". Too bad they don't put
that effort into the real security problems of Mexico. Stolen sand... rotflmao

This is absurd, even by Mexican standards, but maybe the real issue is the lack of enforcement power by Mexican regulatory agencies against
high-dollar businesses. If they can't get businesses to comply through the court system, apparently they use whatever power they do have to make a
point.

That explanation is even funnier. Regulatory... court systems... LOL. it all about who regualtes the dollars needed to enforce what they want
done, tourists be dammed. (not even pesos count). Does this sound like a country that is hurting from a lack of tourists?
