BEWARE OF ROSARITO
Do not believe everything written on the many Baja blogs as the majority commentors are those with vested interests(hoteliers,real estaters,restaurateurs, property owners etc) & the moderators delete anything that doesn’t support their interests. I live here and know of no one who hasn’t been robbed either on the street, in their homes or by the police! Ca. is deporting every criminal it possibly can and the miscreants are all ending up here doing their dirty deeds.If by chance the police are not initially involved you CANNOT count on them for any appreciable assistance in solving your case. Possibly if you are young and pretty or wealthy and you are beheaded or raped by the gangsters someone will pay some attention. Short of that you are simply pushed aside with the dozens of dozens of others who have been violated, kidnapped, car jacked and often murdered withot ever being reported for fear of retalliation.
Do yourself a favor and enjoy California and avoid this cesspool of two faced corruption!

Individual Reactions to Crime Victimization
How individuals react to being the victim of a crime will vary from person to person. Reactions are affected by individual factors such as how the victim handles stress, the nature and duration of the crime, the physical safety of the victim, and the number and type of support systems available. Reactions to a crime may be immediate or delayed. The physical, emotional, or cognitive (involving thinking ability) symptoms a victim may experience could include nausea, headaches, fatigue, hyperventilation, or sleeping problems. Some victims report feelings of anxiety or fear, hyper-vigilance, guilt, anger, or isolation. Some experience difficulty making decisions, short-term memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or recurring memories of the crime.
It is important to realize that these are normal feelings, behaviors and reactions to an abnormal event. One of the first things to pay attention to is your need to feel safer. Addressing safety concerns and receiving emotional support can help. For most victims the reactions described above diminish with time. If these reactions persist and are disrupting your life or getting worse after three or four weeks, you should consider seeking professional assistance

more!
Since September, at least eight Rosarito Beach police officers have been killed, more than two dozen have resigned, and the town’s main street, Benito Juarez Boulevard, has been the scene of at least two shootings. In one, a drive-by assailant shot and killed a 15-year-old boy and three others in a pet store.
In November, one drug cartel apparently tried to kill a gunman from a rival cartel outside a Rosarito taco stand. Soon after, authorities said, five members of the first cartel were found, their bodies dismembered, in cars outside the same taco stand.

- Fulano sends us this one from ROSARITO BEACH: Tourist ripped off at the ATM machine by a man who stopped to “help” the tourist because he couldn’t figure out how to get dollars from the machine. The robber, a resident of Tijuana, was apprehended by Police.

something new i came across:
Carol Council wrote:
We’ve been going there frequently for 5 years. We stopped when the violence got bad, but we’ve gone back for the last 4 months and felt perfectly safe. The crime rate in Rosarito has dropped steadily in ALL categories for 8 months!!!!!!!!!!
Let me guess, you are getting your information on crime in Rosarito from the tourist bureau, right? Try reading the Mexican newspapers, you know, the ones who are not trying to sell you something.
