A warning to those crossing at Tecate.....
We were stopped by a Tecate motorcycle cop speaking perfect English on March 7th, 2015, right as you turn to get on the road to the border crossing. He informed us we had "blocked" a crosswalk about a mile back( we stopped at everyone) even though there were no people at the crosswalk. The fine was 700 pesos. He said he had no receipts and we could go to the police station if we wanted. We told him that 700 pesos was way too much money so he asked how much we would pay. My husband told him 500 pesos was all he would pay so the officer said he'd take it. He did and drove off. So be very careful when going to the border in Tecate. The police know where you are headed and will relieve you of the rest of your pesos. J&M

COMMUNITY MARKET - SATURDAY, MARCH 14TH

     1  MEAL TICKET prepares wholesome, handmade, meals available to pick up@ Los Barrilles Community Market Next Visit March 14
================================


THEFT
- Include date, general location, time, method of entry, etc.  Name of victim not necessary.

a.  STOLEN: Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke motor and gas tank from off of our boat in La Ribera. Was inside fenced yard; thieves went up and over the fence sometime between 10pm 3/11 and 8am 3/12. Reward for return. Contact scott@chavycha.com  or 503.910.7458 / 554.056.2867

ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  ATM Discussion
          1)  A friend & I, both with Charles Schwab debit cards, were denied cash at the HSBC next to Wal-Mart in Cabo San Lucas. When I called Schwab, they said they had blocked HSBC due to its high volume of fraud. 

          2)  I had two incidents with ATM's in Cabo. Both were with HSBC using a Scotia Bank debit card. The first was with the machine at the bank in the mall by Walmart. The second was with the ATM for the same bank in the Walmart store.I did not get a receipt for either transaction but as I had tried more than once, in front of witnesses, I did get receipts for the other tries but no money. I am out in total over $1,000.00 Canadian
. I immediately contacted my bank in both cases and they were investigating. I have been told that as it is international I have to wait 47 days for action of any kind. This is very frustrating to say the least.. I will supposedly see some action from the Bank of Nova Scotia around the middle of April. I hope this is true.

          3)  A different bank machine problem.  The bank machine in Los Barriles doesn't like Canadian bank cards. ! You may only withdraw 2000 pesos per transaction, so if you for instance want 6000, you have to withdraw 3 times and pay the bank fee three times both here and at home in Canada. If you try to use the "other" (amount) button you get a strange message : "No small denominations available" (!) So since we live in La Ribera and have to use gas at each trip going for money, it is becoming quite an expensive process.  Inge

          4)  Last year I had a problem in San Jose at the Scotia ATM in the center with Applebee's and Office Max. I inserted my card into the machine and requested a cash amount, nothing happened for more than a minute and I could not get my card back. I didn't want to leave the machine incase it dispensed money and my card. Finally after about 2 minutes my card was ejected but no money. My US bank account was debited the amount requested but they would not process my claim stating a business ATM card did not have the same protection as a personal ATM card. I gave up and was out several hundred dollars.

b.  Propane Answer:   "My propane tank reads 86%, but it was at 90% a few days ago with no usage", or words to that effect. Propane tanks have a relief valve that will release propane at a certain pressure. Modern tanks are required to be "full" at 80% to allow for the expansion of the gas in higher temperatures. High temps, especially direct sunlight, will cause the valve to release pressure.
Temperature will also cause expansion/contraction of the liquid propane. That can be checked by tank weight.

QUESTIONS - Please share your answers
