Been thinking about why you were targeted.
1) American
2) Long Hair and Beard (LOL ... dope maybe)
3) Shinny new Red trike ... red vehicles always denote the trouble makers
4) Did I mention American????
Your story kinda reminds me of a book I read about Glen Heggstad, To Hell and Back. But your's has a mutch better ending. Glen's had a good ending but after so many months it didn't appear it would.
Good read for anybody who get's a hair to travel down thru Mexico and South America.

You and Mary's adventures are ones we love to follow and can not wait for the next one to post. We all are so grateful that you both suffered no physical harm because this could have very easily had a very different outcome. Glad you are home and safe. It is a pain in the ass to replace all the material things that were taken but you both are blessed to be able to do so.

Replacing all of your ID and new credit cards is a pain in the you know what, the flip side is you are both OK, Welcome back home:clapping:
Sorry to hear this, just glad you and your wife are okay.
I think being alone in a remote area had a lot to do with it, along with the perps knowing they had no gun for self defense....just made them ripe for the picking.
Same thing could have happened in the U.S. very easily given the circumstances.
When we are out on these rural rides and remote camping areas here in the U.S. be sure to not let our defenses down.
Some dork took $ from my checking account. The bank made good on it , but what a PIA changing C/Cards and account # along with the rest of the BS.
Now every 6 months I call the c/c # and report that I’ve lost a c/c . They issue new # ones.
Thank goodness your ordeal did not end like this missing New Hampshire couple who were camping in Corpus Christi Texas..

Every time we travel, by car or trike or truck, whether it's just us two or more, I tell wife code words for "we need to go …. NOW". I'm always armed, sometimes 2X. If I utter those words we agree to, she knows what to do. If we go missing, there'll be some evidence.
I've been to Mexico in the early years of my life, but there's still a lot of USA to see the first time and a lot I'd like to see again. Canada doesn't inspire me to travel. Other places, there is no bridge to anyway. I think I'll just stay here.

Me thinks you (Kevin and Mary) where lucky ... seems Mexico's violence is ramping up. Apparently an American family was caught up in a cartel battle and ended up dead.

These Americans lived in Mexico. I heard 9 dead, but at least some of the kids survived.
