No, the reason is because in spanish "A veo" can be translated to "I see it" so the dead bodies will be on sight, just like the shevy "nova" meaning "does not go", wierd how names can make or break a deal:eek3:

Hmmm. $499? That price makes a simple kill switch much more attractive. I was asking an insurance agent once whether there was a discount for Lojack, and his reply was "if it was stolen, why would you want it back?" Of course, I'd want the thieves caught and prosecuted but he was right: if someone defiled my truck, I'd rather just collect a check and start over. So making it too hard to steal might just have the truck ending up like your bike. Of course, being stranded in Mexico does put a wrinkle in that theory but I've managed to make it back stranded before.
That's another reason I'm sticking with Liberty Mutual because they cover your vehicle 65 miles inside Mexico. I guess I put that $499 toward 'customized' vehicle coverage.

Don't know if you guys are familiar with La Palapa Condos and Casitas. They are located two blocks north on the road opposite of the entrance to Manny's.
The two bedroom condos have garages, and the parking for the Casitas is fenced and secure.
The rates are $60.00 for the Casita and the condos are $100.00.
They are owned by Americans that have lived in Rocky Point for over 20 years. Great people.
If you are looking for another convenient, nice, clean place to stay this is my choice.
Plus guys it is worth it to stay there just to see the GARAGE Les has at his house which is located on the property! Ask him, he will be glad to give you the tour.

This is good to know since almost no other US insurers will cover Mexico. 65 miles places the insured right in Penasco and so I would be curious to know if coverage would include the Mayan, for example which might technically place the vehicle a few miles outside the coverage area. I would also be curious to know if repairs would have to be done in Mexico or at least based on Mexican labor rates.

I guess sometimes we just get very relaxed and let our guard down and let someone take advantage of the us. Could happen to anyone. Thanks for sharing.
@ Jim We have AARP and it covers in Mexico aarp.thehartford.com, used to have allstate they cover 75 miles down..

The site says 25 miles below the border?
Also, didn't Rosy once say that US coverage in Mexico carried no legal protection under Mexican law?

Yes you still have to have Mexican coverage. I'm more interested in towing my truck back to the U.S. and fixing it there.

I used to buy yearly coverage in Mexico that I thought was pretty reasonable. I totaled a new Chevy 4X4 and it took me over a year to collect, but they paid me full price. I now have an older 1 ton diesel and an older Ford Ranger. Nobody is interesed in stealing either and that's just fine with me. I've had good luck with mechanical repairs and the body work is as good as anywhere. Some of the body shops do work good enough to regularly fool customs. I've been offered a few thousand bucks to ferry a motor home to Phoenix. Yes, I keep company with all kinds of folks. Morality doesn't bother me as long as I don't get involved in anything illegal. The bad guys are just as much fun to go fishing with as anyone else. They usually keep their business and recreation separate.

That may be true as long as some other bad guys don't get into it with them while you are around!!!

What you are required to carry is liability insurance.....which is very cheap to buy....

Allstate is another company that covers while within a certain distance of the border. Just remember that you will still need to meet your legal obligation to carry Mexico liability insurance. You absolutely must buy liability insurance to drive in Mexico. This is inexpensive and to have an accident (even if its the other guy's fault) and not have it can cause you huge problems.
If you purchase the liability insurance from the ProAlliance website (listed below), 10% of all commissions will be donated to the Adopt-a-Classroom and Youth Sports Foundation charities.
Hey Mark...got a check for you for last month's sales!

Thanks Rosie... I will be going out to meet with "sunshine" aka Cathy in a little bit so I will give you a call before I swing by your office... I had a meeting with Blanca Soto yesterday and we are going to be starting something and we could probably use a little help... I'll talk to you soon...
Just a brief follow-up:
I received a call from Alma at the Playa Inn today. She and the staff were very apologetic about what happened. She said that they went back and reviewed the video tape minute-by-minute. At 3:55 AM, they saw someone quickly cross the street into the parking lot by my truck. Within a minute, they said they could clearly see the interior lights of my truck go on, although they could not see anybody in the truck. At 3:58 AM, they saw the passenger door quickly open and close and the would-be thief quickly exit back across the street. Less than three minutes in the middle of the night. Don't ever doubt that "Gone in 60 Seconds" is a reality; alarm or no alarm.
I explained to Alma that I don't blame Playa Inn or hold any grudges against them - thieves can strike anywhere. It's likely they staked my truck out and watched the security guard's pattern and knew that they only had X amount of time before he'd be back around the corner again. We discussed that other vehicles had been stolen from Capone's. She said that they are considering bringing back a 2nd security guard now, even during slow weekends.
The concern on Playa Inn's part is obvious and is greatly appreciated!
