Crime, Safety, and the Police

LOL. Trav puts up a ton of horror stuff from all over Mexico that has very little to do with Tijuana.

All the gringos should stay home. Mexico is way too dangerous.

Jackie888's advice of essentially "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and take another hit on the bong cause all that bad stuff happens somewhere far far away in other parts of Mexico any good?

Todays news from Borderbeat: "Tijuana, Baja California Mexico - 3 Man Team Kidnaps Man in Broad Daylight in Middle of the Street.

By Sol Prendido 7/07/2021 11:30:00 AM 61 comments.

"A new video from the Mexican underworld has just surfaced online. For this broadcast a man finds himself in the throes of (fight) ing his assailants from kidnapping him in broad daylight in Tijuana.

His attackers are dropping blow after blow on his body in the hopes of subduing their victim. Knees jabs and kicks are also being utilized against him. The thugs are snatching him down by his hairs every chance they get, they're trying to tire him down.

The victim is resisting by fighting back as much as he can. But in the end they manage to knock him unconscious while motorists gawk and just drive away. No one bothers to help him whatsoever.

At the last moment a car with front end damage who had been stationed at the tail end of parked vehicles speeds out into the avenue.

The 3 man team successfully pull off their crime without a hitch. Phase 1 of the plot to kidnap their victim is complete. . . . "

Only question I have: Was that "Jackie888" being knocked out in public by a kidnapping gang in Tijuana and thrown into the trunk of a car in broad daylight to be chained to the floor of a dungeon until his ransom is paid? Jackie888 are you still free and giving out free advice not to don't worry and be happy in Tijuana? LOL Suggest tourists follow my advice to not flash wealth and stay in your Tijuana hotel or Club at night with lots of security around. . . Kind of describes the HK Club! Probably the safest club in Baja California!

Would like to see a report of the kidnappings over the last couple years in Mexico. At what time the kidnappings happened?

"Mexico City (AP) - Authorities said Thursday they have arrested four more suspects in the weekend shootings in the northern Mexico border city of Reynosa that killed 19 people, 15 of whom appeared to be innocent bystanders.

Another suspect was detained earlier after being wounded during the apparently random gun attacks Saturday.

Prosecutors in the border state of Tamaulipas said the latest arrests came during raids that also freed 18 kidnap victims, four of whom are believed to be USA Citizens.

In one raid on a house east of Reynosa, police found 10 kidnap victims, two of them Americans. One man had ben abducted three weeks ago and was still being held even though relatives had paid a ransom for his release, authorities said.

A USA Woman and her 3-year-old daughter from Edinburgh, Texas, were found in a raid on another house. They had been kidnapped when they entered Mexico to search for the woman's husband, who had disappeared earlier.

The other 14 kidnap victims were Mexican citizens, ranging from nurses and an engineer to store and business employees, prosecutors said. . .e.

$27 to install rotors and pads is a very good deal.

For average cars, not the super complex MBZs, BMWs ect, Tijuana's mechanics can diagnose the correct problems and fix them quickly and cheaply, when the best shops in OC would take months and many visits, but they could not find or fix the correct problems.

I suggest bringing oil and filter to the Refracc shop on O 'Campo. They charge only $5 for labor, put the car on the rack and check for any other problems or preventive maintenance. Buy the right parts and bring them the next time. They can replace the parts for you quickly and cheaply.

Captain do you know of a place to get good autobody and paint done in Tijuana??

I'm planning to visit the ZN soon but would also like to sample the local talent that doesn't travel into ZN so I'm wondering what's the nearest walking distance hotel / motel that you'll would recommend getting a room at so that I could not only enjoy ZN but also the rest of the local talent?

La Villa de Zaragoza or Hotel Ticuan.

Unless you can't afford $80 a night, Ticuan all day for me.

Might want to avoid flashing cash and expensive jewelry or cars in Mexico and not leaving your hotel at night. . . Also only drinking from sealed cans or bottles to avoid waking up with your wallet gone.

What can go wrong with your Camry? A taxi driver in Tijuana told me his old Camry had gone over 1 and a half turn on the odometer, which was 1.5 million miles. It was an used car bought from California but everything on it was original despite all the deep pot holes and high curbs jumping at cars hehe. Of course he drives slow, unlike me.

If you can cross quickly into Tijuana, bring your own oil, filter, coolant ect, mechanics at Refractionary can change oil and flush radiator for $5, at the same time checking for any oil leaks, broken or bent parts under the car. Once they confirm the problems buy good parts and bring them back to them to replace.

I had a small engine oil leak, only a few drops a day but it made my garage dirty. Dealer wanted $1,200 labor to seal, independent shops wanted $800, the guy at Refracc charged me only $130. It was 10-hour job. Engine is now dry and clean, running smooth and strong..

Today a Tijuana mechanic charge me 500 pesos for labor to install my new front rotors and brakes. Took 2 guys about an hour. That is about $27 for the labor with no tax. I got quotes for same labor at $150-250 in Southern California. I've done it before and it ain't brain surgery. But it is a real pain in the ass if you don't have power tools for stuck bolts.

So put car repairs up there as the hidden gems in Tijuana right up there with women, food, dentists, and pharmacies where the people Tijuana are better than us.

[Jackie888]

Good to know. I will use them instead of doing repairs at Pendeltons do it yourself auto care center. I will miss repairing the car myself but if I could do it for 1/3 of the price with my own parts I'll save time and let them do it.

The only thing I'll miss is watching all the aspiring formula 1 engineers fuck up their car warranty with home made modifications.

[Captain Solo]

I thought nothing is worse than eating HK's dead-fish pussies, but Artiste is even meaner hehe.

Had no idea Bar Reno has a sewer. Also I thought all Tijuana's feral dogs are processed into chivo birria at tacos stands and Chinese chow houses?
