Hola. Sorry Rob but I don't like people pulling the "education or holier than thou " card on me. Especially when they have no idea of my education. Pisses me off. Am going to go home and have a couple of tokes and watch the cowboys ride.

I'm with you, Victorio. According to the Professor, because your story failed 3 of the 4 textbook forensic tests, it should be ignored as simple hearsay. Problem is that your story's true.

Oops! Back to the books, Professor.

oh and I arrive March 39 for 2 weeks and my 63rd birthday for those who read this far.

Hola. There has been a lot of info on this subject, for the last time I will tell you what I know. At about 10AM a friend of a friend was driving north on 200 just north of Troncones. He was stopped by a group of about 15 people that had blocked the road. They were robbed of their possessions and their vehicle. The truck was a newer model vehicle with blacked out windows, just what the cartel likes. A friend that knows the cartel boys phoned them to ask for the truck back. They admitted to taking the truck but didn't want to give it back because they liked the truck so much. Negotiations to get the truck back are still in progress. About 10 vehicles were hijacked that morning.

Thanks Victorio. I never doubted your original story. I was interested in some corroboration. You say "there has been a lot of info on this subject", but other than you and the poster who first mentioned it, (in only the briefest terms), I haven't seen any of this other info you mention. Rob posted links to several old news items that provide historical perspective on "the problem", but nothing current.

There are a couple of posters with limited attention spans who'd apparently
"like to move on". There's been a whole lot of deflection in this thread, but, other than from you, precious little meat on the bones of this story.

I have had this incident confirmed by an unimpeachable source. I will not reveal any sources or victims because doing so places their lives at risk. I do hope my friends in Troncones will make an effort to bring this matter to the attention of their local authorities. I'm sure visitors and residents would be most interested to hear what La Unión's authorities have to say on the matter apart from politibabble, and especially what they are doing to prevent it from continuing.

Muchas gracias, Roberto. And to Gringo Viejo and his peanut gallery:

Inspired by the correction, I looked up US state slogans. Some of them really reflect “Truth in advertising”.

Oklahoma - “Oklahoma is OK”
Nebraska - Nebraska: Honestly, it’s not for everyone."
Maine - “It Must Be Maine”

A friend told me about a friend of his who saw a space ship. My friend may have been completely accurate in his report and his friend may have been completely accurate.

I have heard a lot of chisme over the years. Some of it seemed unbelievable. Some of the seemingly incredible was unbelievable for a reason; it wasn’t true. Some of it turned out to be accurate.

I’m not from Minnesota, which I understand is the “Show Me” state. But still, I would have more confidence if there were some independent confirmation.

Jejejejeje

Príncipe de Camerún visita Zihuatanejo para charlar sobre la paz

Quizás no se menciona Troncones, pero no hay duda de la región de los asaltos. Sí nos molesta la nota roja que menciona Zihuatanejo aunque es La Unión, pero nos preocupa igual.

He leído en Face varios comentarios año tras año de asaltos en este mismo tramo que nunca salen en los periódicos.
