I guess all those unpaid parking tickets almost finally caught up to you.
When I was in Cuernavaca this past December I noticed my Mexican in-laws doing some interesting security practices at the house we rented:
- chair tilted against the kitchen door with cans and bottles on the seat
- dining room table pushed up against the sliding patio doors in the dining room
- car parked right up next to the driveway gate and door so they couldn't be opened (opens in from the road).
Now, this was in a gated enclave within a gated community in Lomas, one of the better neighborhoods. I suspect it was overkill but this is not a neighborhood my family was familiar with; quite interesting nonetheless.
