Then again, some victims of home invasions what, 5 years ago, didn't get some of their belongings back because they didn't have a receipt, ridiculous. One neighbor said her new kindle had her name on it, it was reported stolen and after recovered and identified thieves, they wouldn't give that kindle back, said she needed a receipt. Awful. Hope those officials have been fired and long gone now.

What makes you think they would be fired and long gone? I think we'd be better off to assume it's the same old, same old and keep our receipts, when possible. Evil or Very Mad

yes no receipt no item.. In Chiapas some thieves were hauling off my neighbor's stove when the door opened and all the pans fell off the oven...All the neighbors came out everyone knew where the stove came from, the manager tried to claim the stove to return it to the house but no deal, the owner came back but did not have a receipt so she did not get the stove back.. it is just ridiculous

Sounds like plain old larceny on the part of the authorities.

Some people very close to this situation say the account/story is completely false.
If it happened....sad. If it didn't happen....even more sad.

Unless they keep you company 24/7 and you open carry, they wouldn't be much help if you went shopping and came home to a burglary in progress, would they?

Open carry, or concealed, is not a good idea in Mexico as it will get you some serious time/consequnences.
Police/military do not need any judicial bona fides to check for weapons outside your home and you haven't any legal protection or come back, if in possession.
More chance of being checked in a reten than protecting yourself from a crime.
