Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Dcrist0527]

Ignoring the personal attacks, but.

Lost in this argument over what could or could not be true is the lack of any real police work in Tijuana. Be it corruption or overworked, take a look at how many murders go unsolved. If murders go unsolved at a 95% clip, how much time do you think they invest in a home invasion? Consequently, there is not a lot of fear or deterrence in the criminal's mind. Add in the corruption, and this situation is more than plausible.

You are right Larry David.

That post was kind of fishy. It is usually the other way around. The senior members know the Captains posts are filled with fiction. And the newb's believe every word.

So your first post on a mongering forum is to call a senior member a liar because you don't like what he posted? Hmmm. Smells like you already have an account but don't want to use it to attack the captain. Or perhaps you already attack him and you are trying to create the impression that there are others who have a hard on for him, too.

Now, I have never met, spoken to, nor messaged with captain solo, but I do read the Tijuana forum and he provides good information.

This is my only account and yes, it was my first post. I've been lurking a while and while Solo does offer some good advice, he also is a know it all who states a lot of things like they are facts.

I think the only person with multiple accounts on here is Solo himself. I saw one post of his where it listed his other handles.

Good handle by the way. Larry David. Like it.

In the movie the Hangover part III, there is a scene where a mansion is robbed. The mansion is supposed to be located in Tijuana, but they actually filmed the scene in Nogales I think.

Anyway, the Tijuana mansion is robbed when the owner is not home. They rob a bunch of gold from a vault and they kill the owner's dogs too.

It sounds a lot like the scene from Hangover III. In a two hour window in broad daylight, somebody had enough time to clear out an entire mansion and kill dogs? An owner who has a mansion and vicious attack dogs in Tijuana doesn't have a security camera too? The robbers knew they would be gone for two full hours when they left? The robbers didn't wait for the owners to go on vacation before cleaning out the house?

What scared my friend was the details of the burglary and the silent conspiracy afterward.

To completely move the content of this attached townhouse, including large appliances like stoves, fridge, washer, dryer, furniture etc in 2 hours, it required a large group of big, strong men who knew exactly what they were doing, with a large truck, and they were not afraid to get caught.

It looked obvious that these guys were some sort of organized criminals, who burglarize homes frequently.

The crime happened in broad daylight, but the neighbors never saw anything, and never helped in the police investigation. The owners of the big mansions nearby may be some sorts of criminals themselves. Nobody volunteered any info or tried to help the bro recover his stolen properties.

The conspiracy was very scary.

While I live in Puerto Vallarta and not Tijuana, things similar to what you describe happen here also.

What is interesting, tho, is that these types of burglaries seem to happen more in "upscale Colonias" than they do in less affluent Colonias.

My wife and I live about 3 km from some wealthy (homes priced from $250 K USD and up), ungated Colonias and we hear reports of burglaries quite frequently. We live in a far less upscale Colonia where the homes are much smaller and sell for about $60 K USD to $125 K USD. No one here has been burglarized in the 6 years we've lived here.

My personal take is that "expensive houses" contain "expensive things" and are therefore targeted. In our Colonia, most residents are Mexicans and most don't have a pot to p.

Ss in or a window to throw it out of.

I guess it is worth repeating an actual quote from the Captain.

Posted by Captain Solo:

So I am only writing sexy fiction in ISG to entertain the bros.

Damn, that is funny, but so true!

[Baxter Slade]

The 2 guys are close friends.

I have been in their places many times.

I saw the apartment before and after the burglary. All info are first-hand and factual.

That's a false argument. Comparing one's travel, when they spend a week or so in Mexico, and where they live, where they spend 50+ weeks, is just not a valid comparison. Also, motives for those homicides are vastly different.

LOL. 70 murders out of 31,000,000 makes travel to Mexico far more safer than living in just about ever US major city. By Far. As a reference point - 149 were murdered in San Antonio Tx in 2016, and it has a population of just 1.5 million people.

To put it another way. You're statistically less likely to be murdered while traveling to Mexico, than staying home in a US city.

A gringo was living with his Mexican wife and 3 children in an apartment in an upscale area in Zona Rio. The area is predominated by huge mansions with large green yards, owned by big local men. He was proud of the area and thought his family was safe. He kept 3 large pit bulls in the yard for security.

One Saturday 6 months after moving in, he took the family out to lunch. He came back after 2-hour lunch finding the dogs' bloody heads without their carcasses in the yard and his apartment completely empty. Someone killed the dogs and moved the entire content of his apartment, including old stoves, washer / dryer, a couple closets full of clothes, furniture, toys etc. Some guys were having dog tacos that night.

Looked like criminals were watching his family the whole time waiting to strike, and anything of any value could be stolen even in daylight. The crime was never investigated or solved. He was so afraid that he quickly moved back to the US.

OTOH, a bro has been living in Zona Norte for about 5 years, parking his car on the street. He never got anything stolen or ever felt unsafe. He's having the greatest time of his life with dozens bar girls crashing in his place over the year, cooking and cleaning, giving him free sex all night. Most girls were very hot. Life is good!

I would like to know where you got this information from. What is your credible source?

It's such a shame.

I really love the vibe of Mexico and it is full of wonderful people, but the crime in many parts of Mexico make it a no go for me. The kidnappings in particular are scary. 70 something Americans murdered out of 31 million that visited Mexico in 2016 doesn't seem extraordinarily high, but it is still scary.

I was waiting for someone to ask, what area afforded this bro 5 years of cheap but relaxed, sexy, crime-free living? But nobody asked. Uneducated, small-minded men are quick to nitpick and put down others with no proofs, no reasons. People quick to call lies are usually the biggest liars themselves.

There are areas that are cheap but safer than others, due to a number of factors. I will share the tips only with good, upright bros. No need to bring more riff raffs into the area.

[Dcrist0527]

If we take those raw figures as true, and I believe they are, what that means:

0.00024% of Americans traveling to Mexico are victims of homicide.

0.00014% of Americans traveling abroad outside of Mexico are homicide victims.

As a percentage, and by comparison, yes, Mexico is more dangerous than other foreign countries. By one-ten-thousandeth of a percentage point!

The way I look at it, STDs are not the only risk we run in mongering. I think we are wise to consider our risks. No doubt, there are more dangerous people and situations in the zona vs on revolucion. But the same can be said for many cities in the US.

We'd be foolish to ignore the stats, or the dangers. They are real. But they can be mitigated with knowledge, though not entirely eliminated.

Number of Americans murdered in Mexico is higher than all other countries combined:
