@sagegreen They mostly ended the same way, either thwarted by our security of a quick ransom was paid and RMC our family's private military contractor company handled the rest. Due to things like that we are very careful about how we vacation. Mexico is a great place and has lovely people but the cartels are just as unreasonable as the ones in South America so travel there can be pretty dangerous. Typically though most folks know that tourism is good for business and if you mess with too many or the wrong tourists you'll end up in a barrel.
