Mood: Enjoying Life with Wife In Mexico, Easy on The Easy
|

Getting ready for 3 month stay in Baja and taking my jeep down, since wife has doctor appointments in San Diego staying about 8 miles north of
Rosarito. I had a kill switch put in just for this reason and it is not easy to find. I had a relatives little boy get in and he could not find it
even though he seems to find everything else,LOL. Will it stop a theft not sure but will definately slow them down and I will also be putting a tire
wheel boot lock on also. Just not too much fun stealing something that will make you do a lot of work to get it. Thevies like to get in and get out
fast while laughing their butts off going down the road in your vehicle. Later------- GT

here in the tiny village of El Juncalito, just north of Puerto Escondido and south of Loreto, we had two truck and a dirt bike stolen the May. both
palapas were ransacked and various items taken from the interiors.
the two homes were unoccupied at the time, but were not remote and had neighbors.
all vehicles were eventually recovered, two in Constitucion and one on the Pacific side, I can't remember where, but north of that area.
in response one of the landlords had the Loreto police out for an open meeting. we had twice daily/nightly patrols for awhile, then a military truck
with two armed soldiers came through daily. I haven't seen either of those lately.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

I've seen that short attention span before. It's almost like you should continually reward them for their visits or they feel unappreciated.

Ditto on that!!!!!!!! Have even been told by the Policia that they don't have gas to come after an incident.... Yeah right, offer $$$ and they
suddenly have gas........

Apparently, the code can be electronically intercepted.
