"Dang, sargento! Look at this bonita double-traccion! Much cromio, esterio, lampras, Ijole! Gigante Llantas!. What did you tell the gringos?"
"We looked hard but could not find su camioneta"
Involving a theft, deal only with the SSP or PFP. In a city, jurisdiction rules.
The BEST and I mean BY FAR safest theft system is one that allows the car to start and run normally for a minute or two then shuts down. Hidden switch. Leave a note on the car DESCOMPUESTO o ROTO. Idiots have not caught on to this yet. But if they use a GRUA (tow truck) you are pretty much screwed.
Abbott and Costello who robbed the Jeep would have gotten a mile down the road then the car would quit. No, the driver would not have followed it over a cliff. Nor would they stick with the car. Are you kidding me? Proceed on your way a quarter mile. Wave down the first oncoming motor vehicle and have them follow you back to the stalled vehicle. Think the bad guys are going to stick around? You do not know Mexico. They are going to be rounding curves on two wheels escaping with curses filling the air. "Too many episodes of "We don't need no steenking badges" for those that think otherwise. Snag the car (by then there will be several more cars and trucks that have arrived on the scene) turn around and proceed opposite the direction the terrified ladrones hauled you-you-what.
Los Caballeros Templarios. Gimme a freakin' break! Those jerks earn more in 10 seconds than the purchase price of that Jeep. They ARE NOT GOING TO BRING THE FEDS DOWN ON THEIR HEADS over a Jeep that you cannot get parts for in Mexico. A vehicle that would be SEIZED the first time a PFP or SSP laid eyes on it. "Where are your documentos?" Here bub, slip into these here handcuffs".
The perps did this because they were STUPID. They way to get around STUPID is to be smarter than the problem.
And yes, delayed cutoff theft protectors are very common. By the time the vehicle stalls you will be down they road and if you think they are going to turn around and chase you, you'd better steer clear of Mexico.
