The OP's question was if anyone had heard of this,
that's ALL, this guy doesn't deserve to be mocked, no one is FOCUSED on negative Baja News,
I'm a big of a Baja Cheerleader as you are. I just don't
choose to ignore info, negative or not. I don't
understand the 5 yr timeframe you put on the TJ incident,
that has no bering on that incident. I appreciate
ALL info. Not all Baja occurances/incidents come
across BN

I have yet seen bad news in all my travels of the mainland and Baja. The bad does indeed happen in Baja, just as it does in any other country. Over the most part....the talk about the crimes committed in Baja are over blown and greatly told over and over and over by the newspapers....just as the American newspapers do.

A few common tips when traveling the Los Angeles, CA area:
Do not venture into the badlands such as East L.A.
Do not wear expensive Rolex watches, or wear one of those Crocodile yuppie shirts.
Stay away from the red light districts where drugs and cheap thrills are.
Don't roll your windows down when a unmarked police car pulls you over.....demand a B&W cruiser to show up.
Obey the traffic laws.

Apply these same rules to Baja!
99% of Baja is safe as hell.




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I don't know about a motorhome but I do know a plane was hijacked at gun point in Mulege a few years ago.
