We wuz robbed !

After spending a wonderful week with our near and dear friends ,Brian and Maggie,the time was getting close for them to pack up and head home, and face the challenges that the young and the poor must do. "go back to work" plus don those awful winter clothes again, and try to keep warm! ( I remember it well ).
On their last night with us we went out to a local restaurant and wined and dined under the stars. Actually it was Brian and Maggies treat to us as an early birthday present, Kate and I are both in March. It was a lovely evening, we walked there and back and since they had a cab booked for 7 am. we decided to have an early night and were all in bed by 10pm.
I got up at 6am. in order to make them tea and toast to get them going and at 6.30 am. I went upstairs to find that we had been robbed as we slept. All this happened outside of our bedroom door which is left wide open, the strange thing is that I am up almost every hour to the bathroom, especially after a night of drinking ! Kate said if they had seen me walking naked to the bathroom it would have scared the hell out of them ! Fortunately no one was hurt and I think they must have been disturbed because all the took was our lap top computer, a digital camera, an electronic organizer and battery charger, if they had reached in to my open bedroom door they could have picked up my pants with my wallet, cash and credit cards.
When the cab driver arrived at 7am. we got him to phone the police for us, the police arrived an hour later and took a statement from us, they were not interested in taking pictures and fingerprints and informed us that we habe to go into the next town to make a formal statement.
later on around lunch time two more policemen showed up and duplicated what we went through with the first two. However we went into the next town with an interpreter to speak for us, this was around 2.30 pm. and we were told to come back tomorrow as it was siesta time and they were about to close for a couple of hours. So next morning at 9am. we set of again with 5 copies of our passports and did the report ,we were also informed that they wanted photos of the windows where they entered and cut the screen, our interpreter, who works for our rental agency, said that he would get a camera and take the pictures and return them that day. we were also told to come back on Monday for a copy of the report to give to the insurance company.
Only in Mexico!
However, Kate and I are off to the beach in Porto Vallarta on Moday for a well earned 5 day vacation.........Till next time.
