Lost Motorhome
Back in 2002 I had a personal tragedy and had to leave my much loved Motorhome - roughly a mile away from the San Jose airport on a plot of land
overlooking the Arroyo that goes down to La Playita. As it was urgent I left immediately, I had to leave it with a young man someone introduced me,
to who promised to keep in touch through email. This he did for a couple of months but then all went quiet. Because I could not return from England, I
have been left feeling cheated. His name is ******* *******. He was trying to set up a small Art Gallery in San jose. The Motorhome was 32 ft Dodge.
Green and White.
Any sightings of either would be so much appreciated.

Not exactly favour to me as he had only a little shack to live in, and I told him he could use it. It was a mutual favour based on trust and
obviously in my case I was caught between a rock and a hard place.

It's a shame you lost it but, you're expecting way too much. If this happened in England, would you expect it to be just as you left it? I doubt
that it would be.
Put it behind you and move on. It's gone.

If you do find ether him or the moter home just don't say a thing about it. you don't want to open that can of worms if you do you will regret it. try
to learn about how things work in Mexico and you will enjoy life here allot more.

you broke the law technically speaking by abandoning it. you are responsible to get it out of the country at your expense and/ or renewing the 6 month
vehicle approval to drive in mexico if it isn't being imported fully legally.
i'd forget it now. sorry to hear it happened to you tho.

Probably a long shot at this being yours. But it IS (was) probably stolen....Couldn't tell you the make, but it is white and green, dusty and trashed

I would like to know how you can tell if it is "probably" stolen?

Maybe it wasn't stolen.
Maybe some nice guy from England just gave it to him ? 
Wait, I think I found it !!!
It is in cherry condition, just waxed with a full tank of gas and many upgrades.
He will drive it to England for you anytime. 
(oops, April Fools is another thread).

Many thanks for all your "support". Schadenfreude comes to mind with some.I hope you do not find yourselves in the dire circumstances I was in...
Thank you Taco de Baja for your photos. As I am in incurable believer in the intrinsic good of most people I thought there might be a glimmer of hope.
I lived in Cabo San Lucas for 4 years from 1989..... things have changed. I did not mean to suggest he had "stolen" it - just appropriated it. I had
no choice and he got lucky.

Some of the replies were a little rough, I'll admit but, I didn't see anybody gloating about the situation. The circumstances, as they were
presented, were extraordinary. Not that he had to quickly leave the country but, that anybody would expect his property to be where he left it after
four years, in a poverty stricken area. As he said, the caretaker resided in a Kotex box until Santa Clause came along and gave him a home.
Nobody here was trying to be insensitive. The replies fit the inquiry.
Sorry I added to your grief.

Am I the only one who thinks the guy to whom the property was entrusted may be completely innocent? Circumstances can change dramatically in six
years. The guy may even be dead. So unless there was some reasonable way for him to call Great Britain, I don't see how the "aggrieved" party could
have entertained an expectation that his property would be taken care of indefinitely.

Bajamigo - fwiw I never saw the other guy as being 'guilty' of anything other than having the misfortune to have, for awhile, his name (with some dirt
implied about it) broadcast on the pages of this board. Thank goodness for moderators.
