Yes, Zihuatanejo and Troncones are SAFE

I first visited Troncones probably 25 years ago. I have owned a house there for over 20 years. I have been the victim of “crime” twice that I can think of.

One time a female guest who was renting the house invited a local male to come back to the house after they had been drinking. When he left, some salsa verde was gone.

Another time I left my favourite corkscrew at the house when I left for several months. When I returned it was gone. I’m guessing it is more likely that a renter liked it as much as I did than that a local stole it.

I do recall hearing several years ago that a handgun was stolen from the house of a local gringo.

Given that the handgun would have been illegal, I guess that counts as two crimes if the story is true.
