Evidence ... and they did not send Adrienne to jail!

The only remaining evidence after we destroyed a Mexican telephone pole and left over 200 ft. of telephone line all over the road.

After the episode where we crossed three border crossings in about an hour we headed on our way and eventually made it to San Felipe. 

It was not a good day for Adrienne. We parked  about 100 yards from the club de Pesca. I got out and walked over and found the campsite right on the oceanfront. I walked back and signalled Adrienne to drive the vehicle in. She proceeded to drive forward. When I turned around to see how she was doing suddenly she was stopped and Frankie was wrapped up in telephone wire. She had connected our air conditioner with the telephone line and proceeded to pull down 200 feet of line and a telephone pole!

A Passerby Mexican and myself unwrapped Rita and pulled the line off the road. We then proceeded to club de Pesca and setup and set up camp. 

Within 10 minutes a cop car was on our back door.  He told us that we would be responsible for the damage to the powerline and requested that Adrienne and I along with Frankie follow him to thepolice station.

On route to the cop shop, I stopped at the scene of the crime. It must have been a slow day. There were 3 cop vehicles and 6 Mexican Police at the scene of the crime. None of the police could speak English. However again we got a bit lucky. One of the policeman saw my Fireman's cap. He tried to talk to me as best as he could about what I did.
Within three or four minutes a guardian angel appeared. He was a fireman from the San Felipe  fire department.

The fireman was relatively young and spoke fluent Spanish and English. On my behalf he negotiated what I considered was a very good deal. 

The cop at first wanted to give us a ticket and then report the issue to the national phone company. It would've been a real pain and very expensive. 

The young fireman cut a deal with the police on scene and indicated that I should pay $300 cash to the policeman when he shows up at our campsite.  There would be no paperwork in this transaction. The policeman indicated that he was write his report in such a way that no one saw what happened. 

Fortunately I had 15 $20 bills salted away in the camper. We were sent on our way as the telephone repair truck arrived. An hour later of course we had a visit from  police department.

Other than a smile the policeman's only comment was "no let people see money". 

... Life goes on in Mexico.
