Anyone who goes to Mexico is stupid. The place is a dangerous hellhole.

The days of “Mexico” and “tourism” legitimately occurring in the same sentence should be WAAAAAYY over by now. People who go there and wind up ripped off or dead have only themselves to blame. It’s Rwanda 5 minutes from San Diego. No fixing it any time soon, either.

Vander Byl always assumed they'd be safe. He said there has always been an understanding between the bandits and the government to leave the tourists alone.Prolly an Obama voter............ yeah, yeah, I know, he's from Canada.

Canadians are good people.....but just have that Liberal Globalist idea that all people and nations are good. It ain’t so
I feel bad for this couple....but anyone traveling to the Third World porta-potty called Mexico is taking a huge risk

Looks like they should have thought ahead and carried a duffel bag with heads in it.

After seven years of travelling to Mexico, Vander Byl said he likely won't return. They are lucky to return to their home alive. Many tourists to Mexico have not been that fortunate.

"He said officials in Mexico took him and his distraught wife through a maze of misinformation. They were required to provide copies of the Canadian-issued ownership for the truck and trailer.""The couple were then told they would have to prove that the truck and trailer were legal to have in the country, and would have to go to the point of entry in Mexico and retrieve the original documentation allowing them into the country."
"Eventually, the couple gave up and abandoned their vehicle. They took the bus to Monterrey, where the Canadian consulate issued emergency passports and the couple left by plane, landing in Ottawa on April 8."
Looks like the bandits who stole their truck and camper
were the Mexican Government

Some people are way, way beyond stupid, and that is meant specifically for, but not limited to, American citizens who venture into North Korea, Iran, Mexico, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and possibly China.

But that empty spot in your driveway will be a fond reminder.

“Vander Byl said the experience has been psychologically damaging. While they were in Mexico, his wife wasn’t eating, or sleeping and she was crying all day. He only hopes the insurance will be able to cover some of the cost.”
Must be french Canadian.
