Glad you are ok. A proper discussion of riding in Mexico should occur in the POD. There are too many political reasons why this happens to be discussed in this forum.

Thank you. Yeah, we are back now. It was quite an ordeal being in Mexico with absolutely no ID. Took 5 days to get back across the border!

Chance you take when you cross the border. May as well wear a sign that says Gringo With US$
Lived in San Diego since 1975. Crossed into TJ twice back in the 70s.
Not since.

The main thing is that both of you survived and unharmed.

Hope you can block your credit cards and get back across the border safely.

Replacing credentials can be a major PIA so be patient.

The thieves are to lazy to work and it happens all over the place.
I work with a Haitian who has been in the states for 25 years. He goes back 1 or 2 times a year to see family. His last trip he was robbed 3 miles from leaving the airport. They road blocked his car and had guns. Robbed 4 in the car and one was off duty police officer. He is still mad about losing his wrist watch of all things. He said it is common over there.
