  • Chris I hate this for you but the reality is unless you had some sort of vehicle electronic tracking device on both vehicles, you're probably never going to see your MH or Vette again. Within hours of being stolen, your Vette was in a container on a container ship eventually headed for South America. As for the MH, you might see it again if Border Patrol stops it for a drug inspection on it's way back into the US from Mexico. But since it'll be chock full of drugs, the DEA will keep your MH so you'll still be out of luck.

    Hope this doesn't turn you off traveling around our great country.

    Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)

    ALot of folks that have expensive items like this will have the GPS tracking units installed. My neighbor had one on his car and when his daughter got to driving age he could see exactly where the car was with a tracking app on his cell phone... Amazing stuff

    Hope the police has some luck finding your things before they get field stripped. Been to Albuquerque many times in my work travels and it is a nice place with lots of history behind it...

  • Nothing I can do to help. I just want to say how sad I am that your visit was ruined by thieves. I know that it will color your opinion of our nation,please don't think that your experience is indicative of us.
  • Although it's possible I somehow doubt that Mexico is hiding Your Rig.! More likely it is still in New Mexico. Probably in pieces by now!
  • What year Vette? It sounds like an older model and no matter where it ends up it will stand out whether it's stateside or in Mexico. Good luck.
  • Sorry, but they are already in Mexico. They will still have the plates on them 5 years from now, as do many stolen vehicles we observed in several area, during our travels there. We even spotted a truck stolen from a RV.Net member years ago and it still had the Canadian plates they listed here on the net.
