Makes you wanna cry.... Same thing happens on SOUTH BLVD around Mpontgomery after 10PM... All of the big old motels/hotels and most businesses all boarded up now (as of a couple years back anyway) It's a WAR ZONE there too...

We had pulled off and camped at nice camp ground just opposite the truck stop at I65 and South Blvd. Got all setup and then headed down the strip to get something to eat. Montgomery Police pulled us over and told us this was not the place to be after 10PM... We went back to our trailer...

My love and Joy is also a 99 Wranhler Jeep

If you knew how often this happens in the US and if you were familiar with US Dept of Justice and FBI stats you would head for Mexico immediately if not sooner as many of us on this forum already have. 38,000 carjackings in the US on average each year - that does not include auto theft or truck hijacking which have their own stats.

I am now in Puerto Vallarta for a couple of weeks.

The Federales took notes in a note book, now written report received.

The Ministerio Publico gave me a stamped report, no Case number.

LMFAO!!!! Give me ONE, ONE, instance of such an event happening in the US, Canada or anywhere other than a third world country. I've never heard of an instance of someone holding up an RVer at gunpoint to steal their toad, here or in Canada. This wasn't some quick carjacking. This was a very violent event for the OP. He did the right thing in that situation. Calling this a carjacking does a disservice to the OP. This was a robbery, pure and simple. In a carjacking, the victim is usually pulled from their vehicle and the perp drives off. Victim is accosted by the perp for less than 60 seconds. In this instance, the OP encountered at least two armed individuals for what must have seemed like a lifetime to him and his wife. Any misstep on his or her part could have resulted in a kidnapping and/or death to both. IMHO, the OP and his wife were lucky, this time. These were small time criminals, wusses as called out above. They could just as well have killed both the OP and his wife, unhooked their Jeep and driven off. Again, this was not some random carjacking....Dennis

Damn and here I thought kissing a KenMex nose-to-nose at 200 k/p/h would be hazardous. Well, I guess I better start packing.

Rainbirds this was a very unfortunate incident and must have been very traumatic as well. Fortunately you are both alive to deal with the insurance issues. Dealing with insurance is usually a hassle wherever you are but even more so in a foreign country. Good luck.

I am interested in what advise you have for others to avoid such a situation and what you would have done differently.

PS to those that would have done this or that your brain and adrenalin take over, no two situations are the same and every one reacts differently. You will never know until you are there. These people came out of this unharmed therefore they reacted perfectly!
