I was only 16, but I was old enough to realize there was a problem in paradise.

Yup. A classic tell was when we'd be camped out on come beach and a man would come up to us to sell us pot. We were smart enough to know there was probably a real or fake cop lurking to bust us for possession an hour later.

Then my grandmother lost a substantial investment in Telefono Mexico when it was nationalized. 100% loss.

She had a Sayulita beach lot north of Vallarta that the bank stole on behalf of an ejido that claimed rightful ownership...it ended up being owned by one of the banks attorneys. THAT convinced me not to buy property on the Baja Peninsula. Shit like that, a gringo has NO recourse. Try to push the ownership issue and you could end up missing for good.
