Lakeside crimewatch
Because I get beat up here, I am not saying anything but you need to go look at Lakside crimewatch, shocking is a mild term

And your point is?. Also Lakeside crimewatch just announced that they are going to close because TOB has a new crime watch section, Duran the Dictator will love that.

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
IMO, the fact that Lake Chapala Crime Watch is shutting down their site is a real loss for the communities. He underwent a number of rough times and actually shut it down once before. I would imagine that he was often very frustrated when attempting to be responsible and verify stories.
Now that TOB has chosen to essentially steal part of his name and attempt to isolate crime stories in a new section at the very bottom of their menu, it will be months before everyone gets a clue. The mods will be spending their time moving topics into this new area. Since TOB has chosen to ban so many people, they won't be receiving reports from those potential sources.
As for CSI taking up the slack on reporting, I just don't see it happening. It is unclear to me if they are behind this Facebook thing but forcing people to join a social media site is total BS in my book!

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
FYI:
May 9 - Chapala.com just started a new forum called Crime Watch. Interesting name - but be aware, Lake Chapala Crime Watch - as in the heading on all web pages of www.lakesidecrime.com for the last several years - has nothing to do with the new Chapala.com Crime Watch Forum.
The good news is that between the new Crime Watch Forum, on Chapala.com, and the new CSI group, we no longer see a need for www.lakesidecrime.com. So we sayadiós. Thank you all for your support in the past. We wish both CSI and the Crime Watch forum at Chapala.com the best.
The information on the website will be available until about May 20th - when the domain name renewal comes up - and we will not renew. Please do not offer to renew for us - as this time we are really permanently passing the baton on to Chapala.com Crime Watch and CSI.
Here is the link for the CSI - Community Service Initiative - Facebook Page www.facebook.com/CSIChapala

Lakesidecrime page is anonymous and perhaps will have better info for that reason

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
Well that has got to be good for Coldwell's Real estate business. I guess they think there will be more money in advertising crime in the area than selling houses. Sad indeed..........
Re: Lakeside crimewatch
Mitch, I don't get it. You offer a completely diffferent kind of service. TOBs Crime Watch is just a way to consolidate all the posts that drag down the rest of the board. It's not checked, it will be the same rumours and innuendo, it's not organized or cross-referenced... please don't do it.

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
It is called Duran, the control freak. Now what is published is what he wants and nothing else
Lakeside crimewatch was the only professional source of information, lakeside, they have always stated the number of sources before there publication, and if rumer have stated so. TOB kills people and there ability to express there knowledge, experence and emotions because one man has the money and it is his toy

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
First of all it is called Coldwell Banker and secondly they are committing Real Estate suicide by adopting a "Crime Forum" unless their target market is well to do Cholos from Guadalajara.
Enjoy your meal........

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
A name is a name a she or a he or a heshe doesn't matter it is what the person is, and Duran is . shit. So Francisco Gonzalez Duran is a SHE!, does that mean you are a he, or may be a she, or maybe a heshe?. A name doesn't make you who you are. You make who you are, maybe cheena gringo with a long neck and a ugly face is a African monkey, or an ugly snake, or a 15 year old boy U get a grip

That's exactly the problem with Coldwell Banker taking over the crime reporting. They will be able to "massage" the info to their favor. I can't blame lakesidecrime.com for not wanting to do it either, it's a dangerous business keeping up with what's going on and reporting it.

The point being that Duran doesn't own the forum but she does get off on the power entrusted to her!

I do believe this is, as discussed earlier on another thread, the “little Hitler syndrome”. Low status with power above their abilities.

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
The problem with TOB sponsoring a crime watch forum is that it would seem to be at cross purposes with their basic business....selling Real Estate.
If they do an accurate job of reporting the horror show that is going on, it may scare off the buyers. If they don't, that will come out and leave them with very red faces. Looks like a no-win situation.

Re: Lakeside crimewatch
I don't think Coldwell will be "reporting" the crimes. They will just have an area for the members to report the crimes kind of like what we have here. It isn't any different than what they currently allow to be posted in their general forum area I suppose. Sometimes I wonder what life for the gringos here would be like without these forums (or the Internet). Much happier I'll bet. Ignorance is bliss.........
Re: Lakeside crimewatch
The question is, CBob, whether having information about what's going on around you is worse than wearing a bag over your head and plugs in your ears. And no, Coldwell will not be reporting the crime. The posters on the website will......so there may be many inaccuracies, like the one about "yes, Mario's son is safe" and "no, my maid said he isn't".
I had a recent conversation with a friend who's beginning to worry about whether they should start thinking about moving NOB after quite a few years in Mexico and having many friends and activities here in lakeside. My question to her was "Where can you go to avoid the trouble in the world?" She had no answer, and neither have I.
There are too many people, too much poverty and not enough jobs to go around. Of course there will be crime, and there is. I'd rather know what's up. There is never much bliss in ignorance, IMHO.
