Forget murders if you are law abiding. It is car jackings that are keeping even Mexicans worried. Areas that have always been safe are now scary with the car thefts. Keep in mind that these road blocks sometimes end up with r-p-s and beatings. One jerk jacking a car is no big deal. A bunch of meth heads is different. I have never known a tourist or his family that was murdered. But we all know of people who in the last few years have been robbery victims. Even some of the truckers that travel from Sonora to Sinaloa travel in groups.Trailer thefts on that route are rampant.
