Was looking at the money belts online. The problem is that most of them are poorly made. The body belts would help. The problem is that the cops would find them when they search you. My guess is that hiding money in the socks is the best way. I have been searched several times and have not searched my socks etc.

You think the cops never heard of money belts? Obviously they'll show up in a pat down. If the cop suspects you of hiding stuff on your person they will search your socks. Both I, and Artisttyp, will attest to that. Don't carry large sums and hold the money in your hand when you are searched. And always pay in pesos.

What money exchange corner? The old schoolgirl corner across from AB corner? Moe.

Yep. They are inching over slowly. They are seriously encroaching on the girls corner motel girls and I can tell that the motel girls are getting real uncomfortable.

I doubt the cops would look for a money belt. But what is your suggestion. ?

They are always going to pat you down. It's standard procedures from keeping their nuts shot off by a CC perp. I simply carry what I think I will spend + $100 for emergencies. Likely worst case, I get a free limo ride to the border.

I've read many of your posts and you've got to be the unluckiest monger to ever set foot in Tijuana. It's borderline tragic. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the character in the movie "The Great Outdoors" who'd been struck by lightning so many times he could barely say the number. Hang in there dude because things have to even out at some point, right? You might have the greatest run of luck ever for a monger during the next few years, or not.

I doubt it has anything to do with luck. It's just him not knowing how to conduct himself and having a target on his forehead. If I ever see him in Tijuana alley. Heck, I'd probably want to rob him too. LOL.

Atoyac Leather on Calle 3 between Revo and Madero has them or you can bring your own belt and have them add an inside zipper. Cost is like $35. Seriously though those are well known in Mexico. They work GREAT in other countries where they don't sell them.

Look on Etsy like I mentioned below. Zipper money belts are super common in Mexico. They are sold at the curio shops on Revo. I've had my belt removed as well as my socks on the street by police. Several years ago they even dropped my pants on Primera in plain view. I was super drunk though. My fault 100%.

What's the point of wearing a money belt?

Money belts must have money in it. So Polciia will be sure sure to search it and will try to steal from it.

Don't tell policia this, but the easiest and safest way is to wrap the chunk of bills into the bottom of your shirt, then tuck it into your pants and tighten the belt around it. Policia will search pockets and shoes but would never ask anyone to undo the belt or zipper. If they do I can scream sexual molestation hehe.

Leave a few loose small bills in the wallet in case policias turn into assholes and have to steal from you.

If policia stops you, how hard is it to reach into your front pocket, hold your cash and ID in one hand phone in the other, and let them frisk you? If you're carrying contraband, then that's on your dumbass.

Money belts are so easy to find and are typical. You need to get more creative than that.

The key is to hold your wallet and cell phone in your hand when the police search. Often times the police will object and insist they need to search your wallet. After this incident I am going to buy a money belt for traveling.

I had refused "dinero primero" demands and other attitude problems in Cascada's rooms by HK and street girls. I rejected them and went down to reception to complain. Each time Cascada refunded the money in full. They never bothered to ask room attendants if the rooms were used for sex or not.

The other ST hotels are more likely to refuse refunds but will grant credit for another session. Girls with too many complaints will be banned from the hotels. So don't be afraid to insist on "dineros despues" or reject girls with bad attitudes.

Girls who insist on payment upfront usually have big surprises to spring. They may be titless, droopy boobs, sagging bellies or stinky pussies. It's best to reject them than having the big, stinky surprises blow up in your face.

The cops robbed me $200 off my pockets a few years ago; since then, I don't carry more than $300 with me at a time; I leave the rest at my hotel.

Thanks for sharing this story. Good pointers on how to deal with this and avoid getting robbed by cops.

I am interested in pointers from others on how to avoid robbery if stopped by the cops. When we are carrying several hundred dollars.

This is among my nightmare scenarios for Tijuana trips.

When stopped the very first thing you do is to take your money and put it into your hand. Cops do not need probable cause to stop you but they have no right to handle your money. They may search your wallet (why anybody carries a wallet in the ZN is beyond me) but you will have already pulled all of your cash out of it. BTW, they know all about hiding money in your sock and, if so inclined, they will make you take off your shoes and they will pat down your feet. This happened to me a few months ago.

Be polite but be firm. Don't offer a bribe, and if the cops start to discuss it will be up to you whether or not to cooperate. But do not start offering large sums. Do not agree to large sums (unless you really were committing a crime).

Don't carry large sums of money. Walking around with $1200 is just a death wish. Do not carry contraband. Do not give them an excuse to hassle you. Vape pens are an extremely grey area, so don't carry one. Don't carry an open container. Don't carry drugs. Don't get shitfaced and walk around. These are all common sense things that many people still ignore.

Went to Tijuana during memorial day weekend (started Fri night and left Mon morning). Overall, it was a good weekend and had some nice Chicas that I'll share later in a separate post. Went to LaCaretta & HongKong on Friday night and the night started off well. However, when I left HongKong around 1 am, after walking a block or so, the police stopped, handcuffed, and searched me; for no reason of course. They put me into the back of their police car and drove me into a ally. I asked them why they stopped & searched me, and they didn't really give me an answer. I speak a little Spanish so I know they understood me. I was giving them kind of an angry tone because I was fearful they were going steal money from me when they emptied my pockets and pulled the money out of my wallet and set it on the car. Another officer came there, who speaks ok English, and I asked them why they were harassing me. The officer made up some bullshit story that someone reported me to buying drugs. Told him I don't buy or use drugs (not even pot), I just drink beer. Of course, after searching me they found nothing. Told the officers I knew exactly how much money I had in my wallet (which I really didn't, just a estimate) and I said I would report them to the police station if they stole any. After they released me and recovered my belongings, I counted my money (I had around $1200 usd). I'm not sure, but if they did take anything, it wasn't more than around $50 usd. I left it alone because I just wasn't sure exactly how much I had. It just ruined the mood for me for the rest of the night and went back to my hotel.

On Sunday afternoon, I was walking toward the RedLight area and spotted a cutie in front of "DF Hotel". She was really small and petite; around 5 ft. I asked her the price for service, and quoted 700 p. I said fine, lets do it. I sat on the bed and she started removing her clothes. Uh, her body turned out not to be so good as she had saggy boobs and lot of stretch marks, but wasn't fat though. She had at least 1 kid as I could see her see-section-scar, but probably had more kids cause she had a lot of stretch marks. Kind of sad because she looked so young in the face, and probably 18-19 years old. I give her the money, and started to remove my pants and put on my own condom, as the ones they usually provide are too small for me. When I laid her on the bed, she kept her legs closed and was refusing me entry. I said 'Que pasa? She said something like 'Estoy poco, tu grande'. I told her to relax and and I would take it slow, but she still refused me entry. I got pretty upset and asked for my money back. She said no so I grabbed her purse and got the money back myself. I was confused by the whole thing because I still don't know if she rejected me for my size or she had some kind of scam setup where she would offer sex for money but at the last min refuse to give them service and attempt to keep the money. If that's her game, that's a very dangerous one. She could run into the wrong guy that could end very badly for her and I let her know that. I gave her another offer for more money for a 2nd session, except the money was not upfront but afterward. She declined, so I left.
