amid the reports of increased property crimes in Loreto I've heard of more 'dog napping' of family pets for the rewards subsequently posted. it's a
vicious circle. chose a well trained and aggressive appearing dog!

No doubt that dog knapping goes on over in San Carlos. |
???San Carlos??? I'm in Loreto, in case that wasn't clear.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

I'm just saying that it is an epidemic near gringo communities. Seeing the way many Mexicans treat their dogs, I cant imagine them ever paying for the
return of their dogs.

Yes dog-napping is happening as well. Just two weeks ago a friend in Nopolo had one of his dogs disappear from his fenced yard. She was wearing a
collar with ID tag—name and phone number. The owner immediately posted notices all over Miramar on the west side of the highway— Reward of 500 pesos
with no questions asked. The day after the dog disappeared, an elderly Mexican lady showed up at his house in Nopolo with his dog. She handed over the
dog and got the reward. (Since Nopolo is remote, another friend guessed the doggie was nabbed by the woman's son—maybe a taxi driver.)

Hi Nick,
Wonderful MaryElena Romero, who has worked for us for over a dozen years watering and raking the yard 2-3 times a week, is now going work every day
and take care of our new house-dog along with her other chores.

Get one of these and you won't have to scoop the poop!.

Of course, it wouldn't work too well if you already have a live dog.

While true that many people living part time in Baja want a LOT more amenities than others, I had 16 years without a loss to my property in San
Nicolas partly, I think, because it wasn't a fortress. The exterior doors to the house were screened storm doors from NOB. Rip 'em off with your bare
hands! For that effort they could have plastic chairs; pots and pans.
The story of my wheelbarrow was made legend in one of
Baja Bernie's books!
Isn't there a rule? Don't invest more in Baja than you can afford to lose.

I am not sure just how large your estate may be...
Having a caretaker quarters on the premises resolves many issues. The get a nice little place to live for free...you get security.
In San Felipe....we have a small joint. We have minimum furnishings. Zero values ....no tv....nada. There are no bars.....certainly no alarms. That
alarm goes off too often.....your own neighbors be burning the place down.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
