Why are you concerned? Didn't you know before coming here what was happening in Guerrero? I've been writing about it for decades. This is nothing. When I first got here the government was disappearing people, allegedly taking them for rides out over the ocean where they were pushed live out of planes and helicopters. You didn't think we actually had U.S. style police that would come save you during a home invasion, did you? Heck, rule of thumb here is that police don't show up until about 40 minutes after the last bullet is fired.

Maybe you aren't aware that the Ejército is building a base on Zihuatanejo's southern city limits, and 600 more Marinos have been added to their local presence Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa. Clearly it's nothing but a show of force, and it probably won't change anything since Petatlán has had a huge military base for years yet still had a narco presidente municipal and all kinds of problems in its sierra, but maybe they'll be put to better use than simply driving around in vehicles like mannequins on display.

If you're just a homeowner retiree you have little to fear other than the typical home invasion or theft of your vehicle or holdup after withdrawing money from a bank. It's the local business owners, especially those with local family members, who have been the prey of choice for lazy-ass bum criminals who want to steal what other people WORK for.
