since the victim was camped at the campground, why isn't the owner of the campground helping?

Who said the victim was staying at the campground? Shari is the owner of the campground and has had limited communications while she is in long term
camp at Laguna Ojo de Liebre. She did help by letting us know that a police report had been filed in addition to her posting the theft here. The
police remembered the case without looking it up, they instantly dropped everything and moved to recover the stolen property, and agreed that it was
probably taken by someone on foot who decided that it was to heavy or obvious to carry very far. There were no footprints.
It isn't unusual for me to think that most people who visit out of the way places in Baja read this forum. Not true! I posted the information here
when a camper brought to my attention that it's being stashed in the bushes covered with tumble weeds seemed odd. Most of us living here had heard of
the theft so I made the connection. When Shari got back on line and told us that a police report had been filed, I contacted them. I don't know anyone
here who is keeping a database of the contact information of people who visit this community. The victim left his phone number with the police.
Anybody else got any criticism of how this was handled? I'll give you the phone number for the police department. We have calm seas, no wind, and
bright sun today, I invite you to come to Mexico and chill out.

How the carrier ended up where it was stolen

I think you know where it originated, and the hiding place was less than 100 meters away. It seems likely that the thieves were on foot, the police
agree, and decided it was too heavy or too dangerous to carry it back through town. They stashed it in the bushes by Paul Camacho's shed and covered
it with brush. When they sobered-up, or thawed out, they might have thought it too dangerous to go back for it. All conjecture, but it didn't end up
where it was taken. Just close.
Thanks Woody!

Excuse me. but I believe if you read before you post
( Posted by Bajaguy....Skipjack Joe

Bajablanca,
If you find a bumper cargo rack it belongs to one of the recent visitors to asuncion. It was stolen from the vehicle while camped at campo sirena
about a month ago. Shari can get in touch with the man. Actually that's pretty far from la bocana. I think it's unlikely.)
you will find it was said that it was stolen at the camp ground. Sorry to step on your toes.

True it is all conjecture. That's why it has entertainment value.

much ado about nothing! that rack looks well used. why are y'all making a big deal about an old rack worth $20? the owner is now 500 miles away in
another country, and has probably already bought a replacement for $50 off craigslist.

hi all, I am in town for a few minutes between whale frolicks...the fellow who had the rack stolen was NOT camped at the campground but staying at
the Beach House and is a regular client of ours and not a Nomad...of course we helped him the moment we heard about it and they made a police report.
He will be glad to get it back. It was the first time we had anything stolen from there and quite a surprise.
thanks for your help Vag...over and out.

I stand corrected. It appears that Bajaguy is the one that knows for sure where the thing was stolen from. Or maybe Skipjack...and either way, neither
one of them knows because it wasn't the campground. This isn't a high crime area, and having something taken from the east end of the driveway slab of
Mike's beach house is very unusual. I certainly wouldn't let it deter me from renting his place, and other than that, why does anyone CARE where it
was when it was taken. Go play on the freeway.
On edit, Shari posted while I was trying to decide if I was going to bother.
