The upshot is now we leave our cars unlocked in La Paz and its so quiet and peaceful. When we look around practically all the bad guys are gone, in
jail or relocated, in this case unfortunately to LB.
This is pretty severe situation for LB which will likely become much worse over the warm months when these problems increase.
For those that do engage the boys, do not give in, do not pay and do not panic. They might threaten you or put you in jail but its a bluff, you'll be
out in no time, as will your 10 year kid they're holding and your mom.

That is great news for La Paz ...
We drove there yesterday and didn't see any outlaws working the south Hwy 1 ...
The really sad thing is that these persons are not charged for their crimes .....
Sending them away just gives someone else the problem ....
These guy need to be put down ..... whatever that may mean to you ...

I agree 100%. The "old Baja" feeling is long gone from LB. Too many Norte Americanos, too much development, too many limitations.

This is why if you find your own little piece of paradise, you should not tell others about it. Geez. I can think of places all around the globe where
there was once a feeling of paradise that has turned into condos, timeshares, fast food and big box stores. Maui, Kauai, Santorini, Mykonos, Playa del
Carmen, Cabo, Santa Fe, Mammoth Lakes, Sedona........

LB Cops and arrests
I have read all the comments and, as I was there, I will say there is a lot of truth to the postings. However, I do not fully agree that it was a cop
looking for a bribe. I have supported the local police with direct propinas and the "gas fund". We do get lots of patrols here north of town and the
cops are good about checking for problems.
We need to remember this is Mexico, and different than the US. The many charities here have banded together to try to find out how to sell booze at
charity events and not get sideways with the law, real or perceived. We have had some heavy handed cops in the past and they are gone now.
LB has changed, Mexico has changed, but think about this. So has the world and the US, big time. Mexico is still pretty mellow by comparison. We
can keep LB peaceful by cooperation and by standing our ground when required. But there are ways, and calling a macho cops hand will almost always
get you a set of Mexican bracelets.

That is just the natural progression of things ...
Nothing stays the same, and you have to get a move on if you want to stay in paradise.
