b.  Break-ins and suspicious activities…

(1)  BEWARE- Tuesday afternoon between 4-5p a man trespassed onto my property in the Buenos Aires area.  He stealthily came through my main gate then through a smaller gate creeping quietly up my stairs.  My four dogs and I were having a siesta. But at the moment he came near to my front door I got up to take laundry downstairs.  I confronted him 15 ft away from my front door.  Upstairs! I started screaming at him and ran to get my taser.  I chased him down the stairs with my dogs in tow zapping my taser.  He kept saying “trabajo” but this guy was NOT looking for work.  As he ran through my gate, my foster pit bull nipping at his heels and me continuing to zap my taser and screaming, he exited.  But what was chilling is that after he closed my gate he looked at me and he smiled. Like I was funny and he didn’t have a care in the world.  He was in his late 30s. Well kempt in a navy Tee shirt that was tucked into his jeans.  He had short hair and a thin mustache.  About 5’8″ and hispanic.  Had he been looking for work he would have asked one of the three crews currently working on my block.  He did not. As a single woman living here I have never before been afraid in our beautiful town. There are so many laborers in town these days that do not hail from these parts and have no investment in this community.  There are at currently at least 25-30 on my short block on any given day.  I see dozens of men being trucked into the area each morning on my walk and hear some even live in the arroyo. Though it may be a bit more expensive, if you are building I encourage you to consider hiring contractors that utilize local talent for they are committed to this community in a way that the day laborers who come from outside the area are not.   (unsigned)

(2)  I have been retired from the highend security and personal protection business for seven years.  I always suggest citizens use the resources at hand to protect their community.  You all have cell phones.  Start photo documenting these workers with your phones.  Take pictures of them in the back of the trucks, in your neighborhoods or where ever.  Those that are accosted can look at these photos and identify their assailants with no threat to themselves.  Everyone that takes pictures can email them to the victims for a virtual lineup.  Say senior and take the photo.  It’s as easy as that.

(3)  We had a very similar experience in Palo Blanco late Tuesday afternoon as well as another neighbor. Sounds like the same brazen Mexican walking through gates and up to front doors, peering into windows and claiming to be looking for work. ( although I thought he was closer to 30 yrs and I don’t recall a mustache. Had very closely shaven hair and well-kept; definitely not dressed for “work”.) May be the same guy that burglarized the Buenos Aires home on Tuesday while they were at the beach. Our contractor said to always get a photo if possible and post online for all to see. What authority (ies) are we supposed to contact when this happens?

c.  Good News!  Here’s a positive, we all need good news. Our renters spent the day in town. When they got back here she noticed her iPhone wasn’t with her…,they retraced their steps, went into all the stores they had stopped..No luck.. what was worse it wasn’t locked, anyone could use it.. She called her carrier they did whatever they do.. Her daughter called the number during the day. Finally, a Spanish speaker answered ,she had the phone. A young man had found it, he turned it over to her. She gave her number for us to call..We called and just meet her at Chapitos Express, iPhone was returned. The young lady didn’t ask for anything, but we gave her a nice thank you. There are really good people here, some bad apples but over all really a great place to live.

d.  Courtesy of the Ventana View:  Do you know why it’s windy in La Ventana? Mike Godsey, who has done wind forecasting in Baja (and the Pacific West) for years, has just posted in his blog a great writeup of the “Five Basic Wind Patterns of La Ventana, El Sargento and Los Barriles”. Check it out here. It’s a great read.- The VV.
