In the US, eviction is civilized -- landlords place the belongings on the street for residents to claim. There are laws against destroying peoples belongings during eviction. Of course, expecting civilized behaviour seems to be silly with the property owner in question.


i'll refrain from the niceties, goatee. that ain't the good 'ol US.

somebody stop me.....please!


:?: huh? :?::?:

why would someone buy or lease contaminated property in mexico, if they wouldn't do so in the US? neither pacifico nor tortillas don't protect you from lead poisoning.

why does someone think mexican's don't behave civily? my mexican friends do, and if they didn't they would not be friends, nor would i do business with them.

If someone is on your property for more than thirty days without your permission, watch out.

rakers, thanks for the post. Has the property changed hands? If so, who are the new owners and was it the new or old owners who torched your houses?

k-rico:
Have heard different stories about who is buying it or if it is really sold. There is evidently no official record that the beach is in escrow or sold. However, our best guess is that an American development co. located in Cabo who is building condos in San Carlos is the potential buyer. Imagine that the owner got a chunk of down payment $$ and doesn't get the remainder until all "squatters" are removed. She did return our prepaid rent when we moved out in June anyway.

In my earlier posting (page 2) I offered to take pix of this mess..........


.......this coming Saturday and post them. At this point, pictures have already been posted...so much for my Big Scoop.
In addition, I have been cautioned by two very trusted local folks/friends that I might be best to mind my own business.....I may not be welcome there right now by the beach owner and even by the local police in this heated state. One local lightly suggesed that the police might have been consulted before the fires begin.... supportive?... involved?...???
Bottom line, and thankful for local advice, I will keep my ear to the ground but will not walk on it until I feel it is safe.

Stroll into the immigration office is Santa Rosalia and ask Senior Ismael Cosio Ojeda who they are. If you make it back to the US alive, you can report their names to us. The Mexicans are driving out all the American and Canadian developers in the area with extortion demands and picking up their properties cheap.

The people who loki mentioned are just trying to stay under the radar. I wish them good luck.

Hi Bob & Susan,

I am wondering, did the renters tell you this or the land owner? Would so many of them just ignore the owner's demand and let their property be destroyed??? I can see a few may not have been able to pull out... but nearly all of them?

Burning structures and autos to the ground sure seems dramatic. Hauling them off or bulldozing them aside seems not nearly as violent an action. I wonder why the violence was deemed necessary, or do you think it was just a more primitive method that was employed?

Of course, as long as I have been going to Mexico I have heard the words said: "Never invest in Mexico more than you can afford to lose".

Seems so but karma transends borders and boundries.People tend to abuse power. Landlords,military and even people in the political arenas. Every despot will pay one way or another. If these people were displace without real notice for a timely bug-out, then it could be a case of "absolute power corrupting absolutely"

It sounds like the lady that owns the property was making an honest effort to deal fairly with the renters. According to post, she refunded money, gave extended time to remove personal property etc. I'm betting, 1. A hairbrained relative had one too many and thought he was being helpful. 2. One of the renters did it for insurance purposes. :no:

no, i am in total agreement that mexico is a very violent place, and it aint mayberry rfd, and is in fact closer to columbia that US on the scale of violence. i also know that many mexicans are honest and abhor violence. you on the other hand think all mexicans are violent?

still, what american in their right mind would buy any lot after one of the previous owners (or maybe current owner) burned out the last tenant? the toxic soil is a problem, but more importantly the history of land disputes being solved by arson is more than enough infor to deter any future buyer from the property. in the future, one must assume that arson will be used again to solve disputes on this parcel. the future owners should run from this property, as their is a sociopath in the ownership chain. the new american owners won't have much luck selling their new resort properties if the arson story stays known.

What is with this 'toxic soil' stuff you keep bringing up goat?

Fires happen, houses burn down, and they are rebuilt... on the same site. I don't see anything special happening with the soil before the rebuild. You think Baja has a tougher building code than Calif.?
