American tourist robbed of computer at knifepoint in La Paz 
 
 
Una turista estadounidense que paseaba por la zona del Malecón, fue sorprendida por tres sujetos de aspecto joven, quienes con lujo de violencia
la despojaron de su computadora, para luego huir con rumbo desconocido y no fueron detenidos, señala la información de Seguridad Pública Municipal,
sobre estos hechos que se registraron a plena luz del día en la ciudad capital. 
 
Fue a las 13:50 horas del pasado lunes, cuando a través del Centro de Control, Cómputo y Comando (C-4), se alertó a ocupantes de la patrulla SP-89,
que acudieran a paseo Álvaro Obregón, entre Arreola y callejón Ignacio Bañuelos Cabezud, ya que se reportaba un robo con violencia a una turista
norteamericana. 
 
Los agentes se entrevistaron con la persona afectada de nombre Judith Mosk de 68 años de edad, con domicilio de paso en el barco Ana VI, anclado en la
Marina Palmira, manifestando que había sido interceptada por tres personas del sexo masculino vestidos todos de pantalón de mezclilla y camisas de
color negro, azul y rojo, quienes le pusieron un arma punzocortante a la altura del abdomen y la despojaron de su computadora portátil marca
Acer. 
 
An American tourist who was walking in the Malecón area was surprised by three young subjects who, under threat of violence, took her computer and
then fled in an unknown direction and were not captured. This was reported by the Municipal Police, the events occurred in broad daylight in this
capital city. 
 
It was at 1:50PM last Monday, when central control, computers and command (C-4) alerted the occupants of patrol car SP-89 to go to paseo Alvaro
Obrebon, between Arreola and callejón Ignacio Bañuelos Cabezud, as there was a report of a violent robbery of an American tourist. 
 
The policemen interviewed the victim, named Judith Monk, 68-years old, who was living aboard the boat Ana VI, anchored at Marina Palmira. She said
that she was intercepted by three men, all dressed in blue jeans with black, blue and red shirts, who put a knife to her stomach and took her Acer
portable computer.

Sad thing is that these thugs were so bold that they did this in broad daylight and to an older lady which they knew damn well they could victimize
easily.  The other sad thing is that this lady will now be in fear while in Mexico or anywhere else when a group of young adults or juveniles start
approaching her.  Too bad and hope she gets over the wrongful act committed against her and back to enjoying Mexico.   Take Care & Travel

Since I travel Baja extensively,as well as live there, I would prefer to hear about crimes that may  have been committed.  Those of you that do not, 
should not open the post. The titles are not misleading to you, are they?

Coincidence can be tiring... 
 
 
What also can be tiring, Dennis, is someone researching on a daily basis for crime that occurs in Baja..to post another sordid and unpleasant story to
throw up to the readers....one can go to the local newspaper...El Vigia or Zeta for sensationalism and decapitations...I already see from my own job
in person the assaults that occur here, fractured skulls, slashed throats.....so I get enough of sensationalism..I guess when I am not working I don't
feel like reading about it..but yes, it does occur, I am not denying that. | Quote: |  Originally posted by DENNIS 
Sooo tiring that a crime report has to be weighed against crime that occures a thousand miles away. 
Irrelevant and tiring.  Coincidence is not justification.   |

Find your post to be very relevant.... 
 
 
I don't think that your post is irrelevant...geographical mapping of crimes can be very helpful...Lawrence Welk village is closer than 1000 miles
away...it could very well be related...could be a schizophrenic lunatic that goes on a killing spree in the US could be committing murders and
assaults in Mexico too...before discounting that two countries have separate crimes committed by separate people, look at the coincidences that are
occurring...there could be a link!!! | Quote: |  Originally posted by paranewbi

Couple robbed at knifepoint 
 
 
May I suggest that all travelers stay out of Oregon....... 
 
 
Thursday, September 15, 2011 11:00 am 
 
A man and woman were robbed at knifepoint Wednesday afternoon in North Bend. 
 
The couple, both 20, were walking on a gravel road near Newmark Street and Chester Street when a man walked up and pulled a knife, police say. 
 
North Bend police were unable to confirm this morning what the robber took from the couple. Neither victim was hurt.

CVS robbed at knifepoint...... 
 
I would advise everyone to stay out of San Diego. 
 
From the news: 
 
 
SAN DIEGO -- Police searched Wednesday for a man who robbed a CVS pharmacy in the San Carlos area at knifepoint while wearing a surgical mask. 
 
The robbery at the CVS Pharmacy at 7393 Jackson Dr. was reported at 11:16 a.m. Tuesday, said San Diego police Officer Jane Jacobsen. 
   
The robber entered the drug store wearing a surgical white mask and carrying a knife and a demand note, she said. 
A clerk responding to the note handed the robber some cash, prompting him to flee, police said. The amount of the loss was not immediately disclosed. 
The robber was described as a white male in his teens or early 20s, between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 4 inches, with short blond hair, wearing a blue
hooded zip-up sweatshirt and jeans. Robbery detectives were handling the investigation.

A crime is a crime.  And that one got expensive coverage. I think the real issue here is two fold.  You don't like the message sender and you want an
increase in traffic to Baja  (maybe because you want to lease/sell your property?).  why not just not read hisposts?

Last I looked,  this was not a Lawrence Welk Village site. 
 
Nor was it a North Bend site. 
 
In fact, it wasn't a CVS Pharmacy site either. 
 
It's was and is a Baja site.  Let's strive for relevancy.

With all due respect DENNIS... 
You are one of favorite BNs here.... 
 
 
I think folks here are really saying that they are tired of the one sided negative stories that Mengano AKA Fulano keeps posting.  
 
Yes....there is issues in Baja. Just not the End of the World as some tries to project. There are many great things in Baja ....not just
crime. 
 
Regards to you DENNIS, hope all is well with you. Deno

"Folks" can speak for themselves, as some in this thread have.  This folk isn't tired of posts by Mengano.  When I get tired of posts by a particular
member I don't read them.  All points of view is a healthy thing.

Thanks for your kind words, Deno. I do appreciate them. 
That said..........I'm from a different school when it comes to avoiding discomfort.  For instance....if I went into a mens toilet stall in Anthony's
and the paper roll was 60 grit sandpaper, I wouldn't go into that stall in the future.  I'd just avoid it and my comfort zone would stay intact. 
Others, perhaps from this board, would continue to use that stall along with the abrasive accessories, but would do nothing except compare it with the
cloudy-soft buttwipe at Paris de Noche and not take it upon themselves to alter their path of gritty resistance. They give up control of their own
life and blame others for their misery. 
 
IN OTHER WORDS...........
