Bajamar
Either she was on the scenic highway (toll road) near Bajamar or at the entrance to Bajamar.....makes a difference.
If she was at the entrance to Bajamar, where were the Bajamar security guys???

The woman was attacked in broad daylight after she left Bajamar and turned onto the Scenic. Since the odds that the white car just happened to be
driving by on the Scenic when she turned on are fairly low, let's look for a more plausible explanation.
It is more probable the crooks knew Bajamar was a target rich Gringo enclave, and they passed some lana to the guards to call them while they parked
and waited down the road a bit. When a good target, like a 65-year old woman, drove out of the place, they got the call. Either it's that, or somebody
else who works at Bajamar is on the team.
Betcha never look at those guards the same way again. The readers comments on that article say there are robberies on that stretch or road all the
time.

Woman Found Dead In Dayton Identified
Yeah...so Mengano? let's report all the issues here at the ol USA. Mexico is a great place to be at.
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The woman who police say was allegedly killed by her husband in their Dayton, Minn. home has been identified.
Investigators say 58-year-old Georgia Lee Bogema was found dead in her home around 4:30 p.m. Friday. They say she died of multiple “sharp force
injuries.”
Her death has been ruled a homicide.

Can remember when they started building at Bajamar ... thought it was a nice location, but, even back then it seemed a bit isolated with easy access
to the on and off ramp of the freeway ... kinda like a bank .. just off the freeway NOB.. .
It's very nice inside the compound ... and some really beautiful homes... very clean ... well maintained facilities..
Only other down side... docking station for the LNG plant is roughly 2.5 miles south ... which is good, and its down wind... but, not sure about it's
overall impact on BajaMar, from an explosion ... for sure windows.. not sure about structural damage... yeah, I know there's been studies... but, I
tend to go with "in field" experience myself...
Ask a firefighter/first responder about fighting explosives, flammable materials in very large quantities ... it gets a bit scary ... out there in the
field... doesn't it... and when they go... well, I've always been one for getting the hell out of there as quickly as possible... and let her burn to
end point.. less contamination ... something which was a hard one to get some of the guys into ... letting it go ... not PUTTING water on it... way
back when ... early 70's phase out of organochlorines ... replaced by newer materials.. with a xylene carrier ... and a newer mode of action ... and a
broader sprectrum of target pests..... ALL... they were very "non-selective" ... worked on invertebrates and well as vertebrates .. quite
effectively... jury is still out on the overall impact to the gene pool from these "materials"... will just say ... the metabolites are far worse than
the "parent"... 
Nothing more fun to fight ... a highly explosive, flammable when wet, and the smoke and/or fumes are toxic... and ya have think about the evacuation
of cities and/or towns... and/or a water way ... et al
Thanks... very interesting time, in my life ... a long while ago..

Wiley, explosive force "should" be directed up and seaward, concussion or blast wave also in that same direction.....smoke and fumes will depend on
wind direction.
I'm sure there would be some damage to homes from ground wave concussion and kiss the windows goodby.
A great location for homes, but as you say, pretty much isolated from services.
Probably living next to an LNG plant is is not a great selling point

As long as you don't look at the government's crime statistics:
Biased sample fallacy:
Description of Biased Sample
This fallacy is committed when a person draws a conclusion about a population based on a sample that is biased or prejudiced in some manner. It has
the following form:
Sample S, which is biased, is taken from population P.
Conclusion C is drawn about Population P based on S.
The person committing the fallacy is misusing the following type of reasoning, which is known variously as Inductive Generalization, Generalization,
and Statistical Generalization:
X% of all observed A's are B''s.
Therefore X% of all A's are Bs.
The fallacy is committed when the sample of A's is likely to be biased in some manner. A sample is biased or loaded when the method used to take the
sample is likely to result in a sample that does not adequately represent the population from which it is drawn.
Biased samples are generally not very reliable. As a blatant case, imagine that a person is taking a sample from a truckload of small colored balls,
some of which are metal and some of which are plastic. If he used a magnet to select his sample, then his sample would include a disproportionate
number of metal balls (after all, the sample will probably be made up entirely of the metal balls). In this case, any conclusions he might draw about
the whole population of balls would be unreliable since he would have few or no plastic balls in the sample.

Sampling... now does that bring back some memories .. from the world of Food Safety from pesticides...
How do you get representive sampling of say 1200 acres of lettuce...
Some wanted samples from "each" plant...
Some wanted a "line transect" across the field and/or fields to be harvested.. at various angles across the field to be harvested...
Was a real treat trying to satisfy everyone on "SAMPLING" which was "vaild"... for all.... just saying...
A comprise was worked out.... and of course it didn't make anyone happy ...
Government work can be a lot of fun HUH !!! plus ya get all that big pay too ...
Was just great ... the environmental side, thought we were in bed with Industry, and Industry thought we were trying to put them out of business...
and the legislators were in bed with everyone ... great setup for failure... HUH !!
Hey Pat, sound familiar ...
Gee, and someone is surprised at where we are... it ain't changed at all... IMHO

Mengano It has been my experience (38 years in business, and BS in Business managemnnt) that you are right! Numbers can be made to say whatever the
person wants them to say. So I also incorporate a thing called experience. I am from a small area of southern Oregon that in the last 6 months
there have been 10 murders. Some from domestic violence some that are just crazy. (as is the one I just referenced). Now I have been running up and
down the Baja for the last 11 years and have never had a single problem. In fact I have had more help because I was the "dumb gringo" than I would
have ever expected. Some help from expats but ALOT of help from the locals. So "In my opinion" Baja is much safer than NOB!!!

This is how you kill the tourism business ... Still, stuck on stupid |
Killers, muggers, and thieves rarely care about tourism in their city where they live.
So I'm not sure who you are referring when you say "still, stuck on stupid?"
I wouldn't give Mengano commentary much weight. It seems more designed to scare "BN" members than to just report the news.
There could have been lots of reasons why the 65 year old women was targeted, and $1000 dollars is a lot of money to be carrying around in Baja. She
could have made a bank withdraw previous to this, or she may have flashed the money around, and somebody saw it. It could also be a random act. But I
guess we'll never really know for sure. I know I wouldn't blame the Bajamar's guards without any evidence.
The comments are a little suspect too. Take a look at them and see if you think something is a little odd about one or two of them.

Thanks. But how do you know your correction is correct? I could actually be the only other one that thinks the way you do on this
particular issue...
Time for a poll, I say.  |
Perhaps we both incorrect about the correctness of this correct subject to discuss.

Anyone know how the lady is these days-- the one who was assaulted and robbed?
Follow-up on the incident itself?

Mcfez - LOL!! yeah, blah, blah - "there's math?" ha!
Pues ... I think she was targeted - must have been waving some $$ around or something. $1,000 cash - all in one place? Dumb. Everyone knows to
split your money up in several places, and only carry the amount you'll need that day. And keep your documents absolutely in a safe, hidden place.
Only have copies on your person.
My brother in law told me that just a few weeks ago, some friends of his were surfing off Bajamar, and when they came back to the beach were
confronted by armed robbers, who made them open the truck and took their wallets.

I'm sure that sage tidbit of advice is missing from the Baja Visitors Guide...
A nice couple parked their car in front of the house yesterday, took off their shoes and took a walk to the water and back. Yup, you guessed it no
shoes for him when they got back- only the man's shoes were gone. They laughed and laughed and said the person who stole them must have needed them
more that he did. The lady was happy- hers were still there.
