There has been a rash of burglaries on Manglares recently. As many have certainly already heard an elderly man was tied up and robbed during broad daylight a few weeks ago. The guys who did it knocked on his door and asked him if they could have a glass of water. When he left the door to get some water the two subjects walked in after him and proceeded to tie him up and take a new flat screen tv and a lap top computer. After they left the victim was able to untie himself. Another report has surfaced regarding copper tubing and a new air conditioner that was stolen as well as another tv from a separate house in the area.
That is three separate events all of which took place at the end of Manglares, so it looks like the summer time burglars are in full swing at the moment so keep an eye on your stuff!!
Too bad and too sad, this is not what we need to increase the tourism What are the authorities doing about it? Where is the police at? This is not the San Carlos where a lived in the eighties and nineties What´s going on? Who and when are they gonna stop this wave of violence? I think that we´ll have to take the justice by ourselves!!
The only time any of this might end is when San Carlos becomes it’s own Municipio and could therefore actually do something about crime here. Until that happens we are just prisoners to Guaymas and who ever the next mayor is.
jaja!
Hermosillo, Cajeme, etc., are all municipios and that means absolutely nothing in defense of justitia. Don’t lie to yourselves guys, the more police presence only makes things more tense and wrong. Cops are the worst of the worst and work with ‘claves’ in order to allow previously ‘approved’ and sanctioned crime. They control the mass of thieves, burglars, etc., they get their respective fees of course.
Guys the real problem is the shit economy, with Mexico going lower and lower down the drain, the problem will only get worse. Let’s grea ready for war!
I agree with you in the sense that the police are very responsible for some robberies in town, certainly not all of them, https://sancarlos.tv/espisode-1-grand-theft-san-carlos/, that is a fact but cameras on the streets of San Carlos would definitely hinder the police from robbing certain areas that have a much higher crime rate than other areas. If San Carlos were it’s own municipio then at least the cops would be our problem not Guaymas’s problem. San Carlos is held back because it has no choice over it’s own destiny. When San Carlos is it’s own municipio things would be better here.
Morning,
I’ll tell you what:
Street cameras are completely useless. In Hermosillo for example they do NOT record anything. They can and are used in the once again, wrong hands (cops) to spy and harass people. In auto accidents for some bizarre reason they are never recurred to in order to find out who hit first. So basically, they are a piece of shit.
Now the other disadvantage i see with this is privacy reasons. The moment we place cameras in every corner (yes, even if its public property) is the moment we lose are virtual freedom.
More than once i’ve been harrassed at 4-5 am going open water swimming or kayaking or free diving or scuba diving. Yes, they always think you are amanecido with tecates in your hand. This annoys me to no end. And no, i dont vote for the ‘nothing to owe, nothign to fear’ bullshit. I honestly don’t think cameras are a solution.
Too many kidnappings and assaults all using those stupid cameras by the wrong hands. Its way too much power for those nasty pigs.
The solution is once again, good economy, less regulations for simple activities and vigilance for others (like the perpetual trash in all of our beaches) who does anything about that? where are the pigs that should be citing or arresting the 2 legged pigs drinking and peeing until dawn every weekend?
which takes me to: https://sancarlos.tv/surf-n-turf/ but no comments there? wassup
I have been robbed here when the economy was good and the economy was bad. I suspect that you are right though, when the economy is bad there may be more crime here. There certainly appears to be more exploitation of the environment when the economy is bad.
I agree that cameras in the wrong hands are for sure pretty bad. Here is an example of how it went for a friend of mine and it was bad for him since he got busted. The one camera that exists in San Carlos I believe is monitored in Guaymas I really am not sure if they can monitor it here in San Carlos. The camera is at the glorieta by the marina. I had a buddy of mine about two years ago who was in desperate need to take a leak so he did so right behind the OXXO at the intersection. He was immediately confronted and given a ticket for urinating in public. We were told that they saw him in Guaymas on the camera and called the comisaria.
So obviously cameras can and are very effective tools that can be used for the public good if they were so desired and properly managed. For me it all stems back to the fact that San Carlos is owned by Guaymas and Guaymas realistically does not give a rats ass about San Carlos. There are perhaps 1500 votes here so politicians know that San Carlos is nothing more than a cash cow that should be exploited.
When San Carlos is it’s own municipio perhaps then this town could improve things for its residents. But the residents and business owners in San Carlos are not to terribly motivated to break away from Guaymas and the chains that bind them.
Lastima Margarita!

Oh here is one of my big pet peeves as well since I have two kids here and I live very centrally in town and am in constant fear that my kids will get run down by an insanely speeding vehicle. Cars drive on the main road at 50 or 60 miles an hour sometimes. I would love to see a camera take pictures of those vehicles and site them for speeding as is done in many places all over the world now. I would completely support that and would be happy myself to pay the ticket if they caught me driving like a maniac down the main drag.
Of course we could simply put in a tope in a few spots as well to slow down traffic on the main blvd. but again people in San Carlos don’t get much say about what happens in San Carlos.
jeje. When has the economy been good?
1970’s? maybe? hmm.
Peeing in public is bad. Bad idea. Bad not for the environment but because of the image. If you are peeing by a cactus in the desert is one thing, peeing against a wall, on a sidewalk by a business is ‘unhealthy’.
Your friend could’ve found a better place to leak out 🙂 but yea. This is just a minor offense compared to other crimes like trashing the beaches. So those pig cops make no sense ticketing your friend when the beaches themselves are in a much more urgent situation. It totally makes no sense.
Yes, i confirm that little camera is right on that glorieta and it is mobile so, some pig asshole sitting in guaymas gets paid to be spying on people.
I’ll give you another reason to keep San Carlos as it is as far as the municipio thing:
Becoming a municipio will most certainly mean it will grow a lot. And this nice little tranquil beach town will become a city with major problems. Yes, it can still get worse. So no, 1500 votes is way too much already and i rather see it like a cash cow than a decadent, dirty (yes, even more!) city with rampant crime and (more) rude idiots on the road.
All of this my friend, which takes me to what i was trying to say in your Surf n Turf uncommentable post:
The reason Telemax didn’t buy your show is the same exact reason why we have absolutely no sporting events organized here. People (locals mainly) just don’t give a damn.
Why you think there is this yearly predator tournament every year? Yes, BEER, lots and lots of beer and cash.
Those lazy panzones are both mentally and physically incapable of (spear)fishing those fishes with their own bodies and hands.
Here in San Carlos we have excellent, perfect even, conditions to have all kinds of invitationals and competitions, everywhere from trail running to open water swimming to kayaking to triathlons to cliff diving to free diving, to biking. You name it. It can all be done here.
But guess what? people don’t care. It’s so much more fun and fulfilling to drink a million beers and trash it all right on the beach. Even places like el aquario don’t scape these nasty hands.
It’s truly a shame. It is the culture of loser in full effect. Sad my friend, very sad.
I went off-topic already but that is the point. Economy and brain shortage go hand in hand in this land.
And even though: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” is true. I dare to say this is what the Mexicans here want and like. They are okay like this. Even pigs tell you sometimes when they harass you. “look, we don’t want to be this way but this what our ciudadanos want, sorry”
🙁
