There is a great thread going on over at Tactical Forums that was the motivation for this post.  It is all about the ‘bajadores’ or rip-off crews along the border areas who basically prey on smugglers.  To me, this is land based piracy or basically stealing from other criminals and illegal immigrants, and these individuals are […]

   I think this is to be expected, with the recession as it is.  There is probably an increase in all types of crimes involving theft or robberies.  As to the solution to what is going on here?  Easy, the trucker needs take responsibility of his load, and use some basic tools and methods to […]
