Leaving this area to escape crime would (in my opinion), be like jumping out of a previous cool and now lukewarm frying pan into the fire.

Yes, of course people are concerned and this is good. A concerned citizenry is the best crime deterrent to crime.

People are more observant and more likely to report crime now and this too is good.

It may get worse before it get’s better, but it will get better. Crime is cyclical like the economy. In the meantime we each should be more cautious. Crime flourishes in good times and bad when and where people don’t care.

The Lake Chapala Ajijic area cares and so we will fare much better than areas where the people care less. The thieves are always on the lookout for the weakest link. We each need to be proactive, but reactive is better than no action at all.

So, Thanks again Lynn for your comment/question. I guess the real answer to your question is I did just update the website via this Reply.
