Tequila: You sure are inconsistent. I see you all over the internet and on your own forum telling people that Mexico is as safe or safer than Canada. That is probably true. But now you are advising not having a nice vehicle as a toad and stating it should be a beater. Is your truck a beater? Do you suggest that people in Canada also have beaters? If Mexico is safer than Canada then for sure we should protect ourselves from bad guys in Canada. It's one thing to not display Bling but not having a new toad is going too far. If you are safe that precaution should not be required.

I have never stated it is safe in Mexico. It is also not safe in Canada or the US. If you want to be safe, stay home. Come to think of it that is not safe either.
The only difference in Mexico is that dealing in a foreign language and with the police is more hassle.
As far as being robbed, anything new & shiney is more of a target than anything old. Mexico, Canada or the US. That is just a fact.
BTW Vancouver has the second highest rate of car theft in north America
