Robbery near Mazatlan

Dons2346 has hit the nail on the head.

Brian what if you bought a white or brown dog would it have been the same outcome?

First - we would never BUY a dog when there are so many out there waiting to be rescued - millions killed each year in "humane" shelters. Let stop encouraging breeding more dogs by not buying them - if there is no money involved maybe the puppy mills will go out of business.

Then - no - just happens our dog was black - could have been any color - lots of people are afraid of dogs - dogs of any color will do - and dogs bark to raise alarms - so in our case having a dog kept the neighborhood thief from stealing our hose nozzle or the tire off our wheelbarrow again.

Interesting that we only see what happens to Canadians

Brian what if you bought a white or brown dog would it have been the same outcome? LOL

The Canadians drove 50 Kilometres to another town to have lunch, Mazatlan does not extend for 50 kilometers, they drove away from the tourist area, bad move in an area where there are bad elements in the adjasent areas, the important thing here is that they are alive, money and posessions can be replaced, human life can not.

And there places and things we will not do and will not go. But we are not going to live in a monastery - or a gated community either. We lived in Puerto Rico and we knew the risks. We were burglarized a couple times - minor stuff - then we got a black dog and never had another problem. We know the standard operating practices for Mexico - as well as the US and the rest of the world - and we follow them as much as we can. Bad things can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime - refuse to live in fear!

Well said. Common sense to those that refuse to live in fear.

The problem is that there is no Investigation of crimes here in Mexico.. Now that a Tourist was Jacked they will start Investigating...

Straying away from the tourist enclaves in any country and any city is not a good idea, this kind of incidents will happen anywhere in the world, do heed the locals as to where to go and where not to go, comon sense folks is always good to practice.

And for all of you that put down other countries, no one country is better or worse than another, just different customs and culture, crime is universal.
