Interesting.

But if you don't have (enough) money, what then?

In Mexico, I believe most Mexicans believe that (almost) all gringos have a lot of money, and probably compared to the average Mexican, they do.

This is not applicable to solely gringos or wealthy people. The podcast below makes this clear...

Kidnapped in Mexico
Our World

Kidnapping in Mexico is an epidemic. It's a crime that now affects not just the wealthy but also ordinary Mexicans. For Our World, Vladimir Hernandez meets people rebuilding their lives after being held ...

Seemed almost like a plug for kidnappers to get people to cooperate and make it easier for kidnappers. Remember, many kill their victims so I would rather die fighting in the street to avoid a kidnapping then be found in 10 pieces a week later, at least that way maybe someone would see and the police might get them in the act.

I personally know three Mexicans who have been kidnapped,all family members of small business owners,but I haven't heard of many gringos being kidnapped.

I would think that kidnapping a gringo with unknown money, relatives, etc. etc. would be far too risky let alone the media storm and police/military action that would follow.

Setting aside the fantasy lives of silly old men who enjoy scaring themselves I do not think any of us are in danger. If you really want to live in fear though, far be it from me to impose reality upon your John Wayne/Clint Eastwood/Harrison Ford fantasies.

One of the victims was my compadre's little brother Miguel,he was traumatized, his father had to sell their house at fire sale prices to pay the ransom.
It turned out that one of the kidnappers was a state judicial cop,he was taken out by one of my compadre's brothers...
