 ATM ALERT!
This afternoon my husband Stephen and I went to the Banamex ATM machine to withdraw money. As my husband entered the ATM room a Mexican man came in behind him. Stephen offered to let the man go first, but the man stepped back. The ATM machine did not work, it did not give the money and the transaction could not be cancelled. The man stepped up, too close, and asked if Stephen wanted dollars or pesos. As Stephen removed his ATM card from the machine, the man quickly slid his card into the machine. Stephen knew immediately that somehow he had been ripped off. As soon as we got home, we checked our online information and $867 had been withdrawn at the Banamex ATM in Los Barriles. The transaction has been reported to the fraud unit of our bank, and we are reporting this to the manager of Banamex. BEWARE!!! Holly Burgin  burgin.holly@gmail.com
====================================

FIDO ALERT!
On Tuesday April 27th my dog was taken from my yard. She was secured and when I got back from La Paz she had been let go and taken by human hands. My rental house is in LaRibera just south of Los Lomas subdivision. Her name is bonita she is a dark brown Pit/Lab mix. Please if you have any info call me at 624-171-7320
                                 
=====================================

OUR TRASH TRUCK
has been in La Paz with a broken clutch for some time now and due to the change of command of the Municipal officers nothing has been done. Monday, May 2, the new regime officially takes over and supposedly we will be getting a new trash truck plus the old one will be repaired. Time frame?? Not sure but hopefully within 10 days after they take office. In the mean time do as best you can and the city dump is open every day except Sunday on the road to El Coro in Buena Vista. Regards, Dennis
