The loss of these Mates brought me to tears, not merely for this callous disregard for life, but due to PTSD. I was robbed at gunpoint on the way to Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca in 1988 less than two months after marrying my Mexican wife in Acapulco. Surfboards, water cameras, and my father-in-law's car were taken. We had to pay the police department to take action. A case of tequila & a big wad of Pesos...not kidding. They found the car in a nearby creek the next day. Looking back, letting the bad guys take everything was a small price to pay to be able to write this now. We still visit regularly, but Situational Awareness is on constant, heightened alert. Live your own lives accordingly. Take care, Internet people 💕
