How about a tire? I inquired. Wow a perfect match to the original custom rims and exact same tire! We had hit the jackpot!

Had a friend who got note from the TJ police that his truck stolen in the US had been found on the streets down there (20 days before the note arrived)...interesting story on what we did to work through the police system on both sides to get to his truck but let's move on.
When we got to the storage lot (dirt-middle of no where) my friend was flabbergasted! No battery, One wheel missing...
But no problem, I asked the guy there if he had a battery for sale and lo and behold it was the exact same type my friend had bought new the day before his truck was stolen, imagine that!

My friend wanted to punch the guy out, but I reassured him that this is perfectly fine for business in Mexico and that we should be grateful we weren't trailering his truck back to San Diego.
Go buy your stuff back and have a taco while doing it.

That is truly how the petty-crime business works in Mexico. ..buy back your own stuff and be thankful it was at a good price.
