The families of two Australian surfers missing in Mexico "hold deep fears" after two bodies were found in a burned van in a region dominated by a prominent drug cartel.
The van — identical to one belonging to Dean Lucas and Adam Coleman, the two surfers — was found in Navolato on Nov. 21, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Mexican authorities were unable to identify the bodies immediately because they were too badly burnt.
I know a young man who drives through it once a year, he says to make sure you have enough money to pay the bandidos.
I have a friend who has a Mexican wife, they spend a month there every year...he said make sure you have enough money to pay the cops when they pull you over, lol.
I had a friend who ended up in jail there around 1970 for a week. Don't really know the whole story but rumor had it that it was money that got him out.
I have gone there for work several times but I only fly to and from there. Driving there is not something I would do and I only live 3 hours from the Texas/Mexico border.
I see many wealthy Mexican nationals living in my city (San Antonio) driving fancy cars with Mexico plates. How they manage to drive these cars in Mexico and not get killed just amazes me. I guess it is knowing which roads to take and which roads not to take.
These surfers probably went way off the beaten path and got themselves into trouble.
I have been to Mexico many times but not the Sinaloa state, thats a no go part of Mexico due to the cartels. Cuidad Juarez used to be a go no city as well but it has gotten a little better. Sad story about the Aussies thou
I have a Mexican friend (now a naturalized citizen) who quit visiting home simply because his job as a mechanical engineer with an aerospace company made him, or his children, a good target for kidnappers.
