I don't think the article was meant to scare people off from coming to Mexico but it does raise an alert level that says keep your eyes open at all times and try to not do anything stupid to put yourself in harm's way. I pretty much had the same attitude that all the problems were going on up north on the border and that the sleepy little village where we live was not going to be affected by the "drug war"or distribution. Then all the people of sleepy little San Lucas Cove woke up to serious gunfire and the people at Serenidad (means serenity) woke up to an airplane highjacking last year, it is an issue that bears awareness. While I am not even contemplating moving and am fully aware that I have been exposed to isolated instances, I do take a few extra precautions and instead of just locking my doors at night, I go out and check the vehicles, pull the keys from the boat, double check the trailer and shed, and then turn the deadbolt on both doors. I am just a little more vigilant than normal, I listen carefully when the locals talk about any strangers in town and what they see and hear, and sadly, I no longer pick up hitchhikers unless I know who they are. It is sad, but that is the new reality.
When I was young, I used to come home from school on the bus, change clothes, grab my deer hunting rifle and equipment, and hitch a ride 5 miles or so up the road. If I was successful, I would even hitch a ride back home covered with blood. Now I am sure that would happen today.:no::no::no:
