Robbery South of Penasco

Don't go places where you aren't allowed to properly defend yourself. South of the border they know you can't defend yourself and are easy prey. We quit going decades ago.

When we used to go to Rocky Point we got Mexican insurance but that was just for car wrecks down there. Shouldn't your regular car insurance cover the theft in Mexico?

There has been lots of robberies somewhere around Caborca.

A reminder:

Probably 30 years ago we read all about having an emergency envelope, placed where it would be automatically grabbed by one of us exiting our vehicle. It contained copies of our insurance, passports, visas, dog paperwork, photos of the dogs and cat, some US cash, copy of a current credit card, and other things we thought would make things a bit easier if the worst happened. It was designed for vehicle accidents, fires, medical emergencies and anything else we could think of.

Fortunately we never had to use it. Now, we only keep our Mexico drivers licenses in the car for ID, and the insurance policy.

Sorry to hear of this family's ordeal but you have to admit they were driving and towing the equivalent of a "candy" store.
Glad they are safe. The father did exactly the right thing. It is just stuff.

Sorry but these acts of violence are not unexpected. It is a chance you take anywhere...higher risk in Mexico unfortunately.
