A lesson to be learned.
by Clueless Mon Sep 22, 2014 11:56 am
I stopped over at the thrift shop in Riberas across from the 7-11 and saw a couple of copes there. I went in to dro some stuff off.
The shop had been burgler (burglary, here called "robbed") and the police were taking a report.
One of my items had been taken. Such is life.
The interesting part is that I saw the lock that had been broken. While the sank was probably hardened, the body of the lock was made of pot-metal which will whatter if hit with a hammer a couple of times. The bad guys, had simply put a wrench or such into the shank and torqued it and the pot-metal body had broken apart, nice and clean as could be.
Lesson to be learned: "A lock is only as good as its weakest part."

There was a home robbery in Chapala Centro today or last night also. It was the home of a wealthy Mexican.

Says a white Stratus with sunroof and a grey Liberty are being implicated in robbing business and account/card holders(?) in Chapala.
