RE: Crime Discussion on gtoconnect
For those who haven't read the "New Type of Crime in US" thread on that other Gto forum, the crime goes roughly like this: A woman (usually) pulls up to the self-service pump at a gas station, then gets out of the car to fill the tank. The bad guy then pulls up nearby and stealthily duck-walks over to the distracted woman's car, opens the passenger door, and steals her purse. The invaluable lesson one learns from this is that one should always lock one's car doors. Of course, you may have known that already.

One commenter on the thread advises that we in Guanajuato should take the threat seriously, as this sort of crime "will no doubt pass to here, quickly enough!"

Well, no, not really. That's because there are no self-service pumps in Guanajuato--or hardly anywhere else in Mexico. I think I saw one in northern Mexico once, years ago. But otherwise, we Mexicans tend to stay in our cars while the attendant fills 'er up.

I remain concerned about the "piranhas," however. I'm not a woman, but my D.A. could definitely use a trim.
