Where is all his supporters? David K? Maybe they can help get the stuff back.I always thought it was weird that people would have their wives or
girlfriends donate their underwear (while he is watching them disrobe with glistening eyes). Reminds of something Trump would do. Now he strips
some poor guys car who had to leave it in an emergency. I hope people rethink their support for him.

This is sad to hear about Coco he has always been good to us. If in fact the jeep in his care and he removed parts. Then you owe him not one dime.
Take your jeep without payment nobody to stop you.

I am a Coco supporter....a bit surprised with the allegations....did Coco do it or what? I will wait to hear the story after the dust settles.
Don't believe everything you think....

If it seems Coco is in fact showing a lack of appreciation for all the off-road community has done for him, maybe a sanction cutting off any more
delivery of panties to him would be in order?

Jeep recovery update. First off thank you to the guys helping with Petes jeep recovery. This site is awesome, I should've posted on here right away...
Anyways the latest is that mark is going to Coco's tomorrow with a flatbed to get the jeep and I will pick it up from his place on Thursday. It sounds
like some of the guys that know coco have reached out to him and he may not charge the $300, we'll see. And by the way, I'm Steve, I was on the Baja
trip with Pete when he crashed, hello everyone. Thanks again Mark, it really makes it easier for me picking the jeep up at your place. Now it will be
just one long day driving instead of a two dayer. Pete is an awesome guy and I'm quite sure he would do anything he could to help someone in a time of
need like this, I hope you guys get the chance to meet him. Thanks. Steve.

Yes Thank you Mark for helping out  We only met Pete the night before the
accident and already seems like we knew him a life time.
Marks help will give us a 10 hrs drive pulling a flat bed to & from instead of approximately 14 hrs.....
Stu & Eric left the seen by dark, while we drove Pete to El Centro Reginal Hospital where they life flighted him to UC Trouna Center, than we
drove back to km 47.5 where Melanie had openned her house/property for us is to camp. (Just about 12 km before Cow Patties)
Stu & Eric only saw 1 car go by the seen on that road back from Playa Calamujue & they were a couple American kayakers in a small car. (Playa
Calamujue had abandant fisher's huts) Eric & Stu told Coco about the accident on their way back to Melanie's & told him that they were coming
back for the jeep 1st thing am which they did only to see the jeep gone & dragged to Coco's place. Coco was claiming that Stu told Coco he can
have the jeep, which didn't make sense since they told him they were coming back for the jeep the next morning? Coco claims he & a friend drove
& dragged the jeep to his place in the middle of the night. Which would of helped if the jeep wasn't tripped, the spare tire & battery were
gone as well. Coco claimed him & his friend drove it part of the way so proves the battery was still there. After waiting for 7 hrs for the tow
truck to show up, which was included in his ACE Seguros Liability coverage. Tow guy showed up with a beat down regular tow truck coming from Aregro
Negro, not a flat bed which I verified several times to them & they didn't even know of a yard in Mexicali to tow it to? So at this point we had
to leave the jeep with Coco & told him we were coming back for the jeep. I know he doesn't have much control in his area since he is disabled, so
will see what is left. I did see that the jeep was moved to the far side of his property, not next to his building when we left on Friday, October
14th
Wasn't sure how to post the picture of the jeep being parked next to his house though 
Thank you everyone, we learned a lot on this trip, especially finding out what company will tow to a Mexicali yard or across the border.
Lillian

I passed through Coco's Corner for the first time this year, in all my years as a Nomad I'd never driven Mex 5. from previous posts about the place
and the guy, I'd sort of formed an opinion on Coco before meeting him. in person, that opinion changed. I have been following this post, and will
continue to follow it to it's conclusion, before sharing it.

He has a lot of control over his area as long as he is there. It is fenced. We will see what is left. Interesting he claims the jeep was given to
him. Although he does not always show it, he understands English quiet well.

The Coco corner scene reminds me of Mad Max movies: a toothless, crippled, crude, scavenger vulture with borderline morals and ethics living in
desolate desert wasteland, decorating his lean-to and yard with discarded panties and scrap metal, frequently visited by scruffy overweight
desert-warrior(-wanna-bes) on over-amped motorbikes, dressed in boots/helmets/leather/armor, stopping to drink beer, fart, spit, and ogle the pinup
posters and panties collections

Jeeps---personally I never get near them, something may fall off and hurt me. J stands for junk, it always has. You will always find a Jeep in a
list of most unreliable vehicles. If you do plan to actually drive one make sure it has a six point harness and a NASCAR roll cage.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Did you recover any missing parts as well? Pay any fees to Coco?
