La Paz / Mexico

his name is Flo - I think this is short for Florian, and he is German.
are you in the area? do you have friends in or around La Paz Mexico? can you help somehow?
pls send the link above to everybody that could help finding the bike.
I really hope he will get his bike back.

Sorry to hear about Flo's nasty Christmas surprise. Can't help with contacts but a post in the relevant sections of Adventure Rider Motorcycle Forum and ThumperTalk are likely to lead to more locals reading the post. I presume by La Paz, Mexico you mean Baja California?
Best Wishes
Chris

Suggestions
- has the crime been reported to the local police? offer an 'incentive'?
- perhaps he could post details/photo/engine number etc here
- maybe he could print a local flyer offering a reward and post on lamp posts/petrol stations?
- has he contacted the local HUBB communities on here
- has he contacted the local radio station? to talk about his trip / ask for help finding his moto & offering reward
- local TV ? who knows - if he does not ask he won't get!
just ideas
sorry to hear of loss
good luck

Florians bike ....
Hola,
thank you guys for the replies and the ideas, I just told Flo to come here and to read/answer your posts.
Some friends of mine, Patrick and Belinda Peck (check out their blog here on HU), just arrive in La Paz (yes, Chris its the one on Baja California) and they are going to meet Flo today.
Florian used a Carnet for his trip (but I dont know yet if he got it stamped in Mexico), so at the moment we try also to get information from the ADAC (the automobile club that issued the carnet).
He will tell you more later, but I know that he went all around town to post flyers ....
Saludos
Mika

Stolen Honda...
Hello there,
i finally have my papers from the police that confirm the theft.My biggest problem in the moment IF i should go to the customs office.I have a "Carnet de passage" for my motorcycle.But i dont use it for mexico,because its not needed.
The normal way for importing a motorcycle to Mexico is to deposit 400 Us-dollars and get them back when you leave the country.So,the motorcycle is official not in Mexico.
I am afraid that before i can sign-out my carnet i have to pay that ammount.
What happens when i return my carnet without the stamps on the last page?
Someone said my automobile-club will keep the deposit until the carnet is invalid,just in case some taxes occur.
The carnet has only import and export-stamps from Japan,export stamp says"On Ship to the US"
greetings,Flo
