No, these local cops are the ones who arrest burglars in the act and let them go. Then they tell the victim they don't have the authority to do more.
Let it go Lee. You are there, our cops are here. |
Doesn't make sense to arrest people then let them go. So, guess that means the cops over there are thief's too.
On the other hand, if you say your cops are thief's, I believe you -- you've been around awhile. Newbie poster has not. And then there's the
issue of being responsible for your stuff.

"Doesn't make sense to arrest people then let them go." They do it all the time around here, too. The local raton famoso de Pescadero, Carlitos, has
been let go numerous times after being caught red-handed, including once after assaulting a cop with a hammer.

Sounds like Carlitos needs to wake up in a dumpster after a chance encounter with a few good (masked) men.

We've had more than a dozen occasions in this little village where the regular (think traffic) police got to the house that was being burgled in time
to witness the crime but no arrest took place. When they did arrest the culprit(s) they were release with a couple of days and never did appear before
the local judge. When victims inquired they were told the traffic police had no real authority for that kind of crime. The Ministerio police are just
too far spread here, do a good job when they are in the vicinity so it's very hit and miss.
Most of the time the traffic police won't work with the Ministerios and many a bandito gets multiple chances at an easy score here when gringos go
north and leave their homes locked up but unattended.

Burglars love to come into a pitch black house.
A friend in Barra de Navidad told me she spread a bag of marbles on the floor next to her back door and window. She told me that she found sizeable
bloodstains on the floor and hair on the corner of her dresser when she returned.

I have a big bag of marbles but they're for my tirador, slingshot. It's the only thing around my place I can call a weapon but I got it to discourage
the bad guys, not kill em. My way of saying if they took all my stuff, had a yard sale, they would have maybe enough for a case of Tecate. Udo brought
it down for me -- it is an adult weapon for sure and would put lumps all over anyone within about 50 feet. I've used one in the deserts of the Great
Basin to make my dinner with great success so I know not to misuse it.
