There are many places in The US I haven't seen yet, I'd been to a few countries OverSeas many years ago that kind of cured my curiosity for foreign travel.
Glad you made it back unscathed.

 

Praise God you guys are okay. Sorry but I have said it here before there is nothing I have lost in Mexico. I will never return by road, plane or cruise ship.

Be safe

 

Glad your ok that is what matters.

 

Sorry to hear you were the victim of a robbery, and glad your ok. I wonder if they left the trike because they couldn't operate it? I've hear to many stories about that sh*t hole to go down there. I hope the experience hasn't soured you on travel I enjoy your trips.

 

The items taken can be replace, your lives cannot.. Glad to hear you and Mary were not hurt.

 

Thank goodness you are okay.

I spend quite a bit of time in Mexico in the '90s through 2008 on business trips. In 1998 or 1999 my laptop case was stolen as I waited in line at a hotel checkout about 2 hours outside Mexico City. Passport, checkbook, business stuff, computer, etc included. Luckily I was with a business associate who lived in Mexico for many years and was a naturalized US citizen. He said not to go the local police because it would take days to get it worked out. He also said the local police were corrupt as hell. We went on to Mexico City and stayed at a hotel right next to the US Embassy. Next morning we went into the embassy to get documents to back home to Austin, TX where I lived at the time. I was surprised by a few things:
1. All the people waiting in line to get visas to enter the USA. Must have been 500-100.
2. Mexican police were guarding the entrance to the US Embassy and handling admission. None of the spoke English. Luckily, my friend got us in quickly.
3. We were advised after entry to go to a room on the 2nd floor by another Mexican national working in the embassy who spoke English well.
4. There was nobody behind the counter in the room we went to, so I called out for assistance. A very nice lady who was a Mexican national came out and helped us.
5. Her English was excellent and she asked if we had filled out a police report. My friend laughed and said "of course not". He and the embassy lady (also laughing) joked about police corruption. I filed a police report at the embassy, gave her my driver's license and a couple of other IDs. She went back into the room for a few minutes.
6. When she came back, she had a document signed by a consular assistant of some sort and told me that this would get me through immigration at the Houston airport.
7. I never did see a US citizen working in the US embassy in Mexico City.

Needless to say, I got back into the USA, stopped payments on my checking account, got a new laptop from work (all files were backed up weekly on a server) and all was okay. The passport office got me a new document, but they waited 2 months to do so, thinking it might turn up. I have other stories to tell about Latin America business travel that were a bit hairy, but I won't bore you with them now.

I have since retired and do a bit of consulting. I recently turned down an opportunity to do a job in Mexico. I have no desire to go there. Too many great places in the good old USA that I want to see before I kick the bucket.

 

Glad you are OK, as others have said things can be replaced.

 

Glad you and Mary are ok. Hope you have great luck getting everything worked out with you papers and credit cards.

 

Glad you are ok. Thieves really suck.

 

Lesson learned, Mexico is a shithole of a country and is best avoided.
