and for the bilingualy challanged:
San Quentin, B. C. - Three Americans who camped in the area of Cielito Lindo reported being assaulted by a pair of gunmen who robbed them of cash,
credit cards and personal documents.
The report of the violent assault was made at 19 pm last Friday by employees of the hotel that bears the name of the affected area camping.
The Municipal Police of jurisdiction said that according to testimony of the three Americans, the alleged assailants arrived aboard a pick up.
There were two men carrying handguns (pistols), which threaten these tourists, forcing them to look down.
According to the statement made by foreigners, this action was intended to prevent the observed and could provide the characteristics of offenders,
and therefore only realized it was a pickup truck with square pockets, and such unit was lost in an unknown direction.
Without quantifying the amount of the lost, those affected have been removed settled in cash holdings (dollars), a digital camera, credit cards and
passports.
Aware of the fact, preventive police jurisdiction and elements of the Rapid Reaction Unit (URI) undertook the task of finding the criminals, without
any positive result.
Spokesmen for the municipal corporation said that the absence of further data on the affiliation of the alleged assailants hindered their work.
While operating undertook the search, the preventive elements Americans channeled to the Agency of the Prosecutor's Common Law, that filed the lawsuit
in question.

There's another article in today's El Vigia that says Baja Califiornia has twice the national average crime rate.
http://host.elvigia.net/noticias/?seccion=generales&id=5...
Before the rah rah people come back and tell us all that it just the narco wars and that ordinary individuals who are minding their own business have
nothing to worry about, they should actually read the article. It describes Baja California as being in first place over all of Mexico for home
robbery, car theft and kidnapping.

Did this happen at the Cielito Lindo campground next to the hotel or was it down at the beach camping near the old breakfast joint (Buzzards?)?

You are correct. I have never even heard of Focos being pockets. Blame Google.
I have never thought about this before, but what do you call a male seal?

You mean where Gypsy's used to be, right? I thought the RV park closed down and is some oyster processing plant now or was that just the Wet Buzzard
since Laura left?

Thanks Keri... that's what I thought... I just didn't want someone to go way out there looking to stay at Gypsy's nowadays... We had many times back
in 2001-2004. The indoor camping was great, as it always seemed to rain when we went there! Miss Laura's breakfast burritos, too!

David. I can't tell you how much we miss Laura's burritos. Loved her lunch burritos. But I do have good news. Cielito Lindo is doing breakfast
burritos for a dollar every morning. They are great too. Stop in and try them sometime when you are cruising through.Look to see if we are at our
place . We are the orange house/trailer on the front row. Can't miss us,k

I wonder how it compares with Ciudad Juarez and the rest of Chihuahua. I wonder if anyplace compares with Juarez.
Hard to imagine.

It's been an epidemic here in Pescadero for years. 3 of my neighbors have been robbed in the last month. Everyone knows who it is ( he has been caught
red handed several times) and the police refuse to do anything. One of these days somebody(hopefully) will take the law in their own hands.

Some guys got killed camping on that beach about 10 years ago.
It's a dangerous place at night.

The article was not very expansive. Inasmuch as Cielito Lindo is far off the main highway, I just have to wonder if these guys had been followed.
Maybe they were spotted flashing cash around earlier. Even somewhere other than San Quintin. I don't know. San Quintin is not known for crime
problems, and random, periodic crime can occur just about anywhere
As far as crime rates go, who would not expect that Baja California would have a high crime rate? Historically, it is where those seeking to enter El
Norte congregated. Sadly for a place like Tijuana, which has myriad reasons to be proud if itself, once you become the staging area or the holding
area for huge numbers of desperate poor people ariving from elsewhere, the civic fabric tends to become frayed.

Two of us stayed in our truck campers at Los Olivos (sp?) campground, next to Jardines, both on the way South and on the return North, earlier this
month. They closed the gate at night and we felt secure. Dinner at Jardines was great. Not a good idea to camp in that area in other than an
organized campground.

Slight hijack here, but Jardines Restaurant has to be the best of San Quintin.

safer though.
