    My uncle (born and raised in MI) couldn't find work up there so he's renting an apt. in El Paso and drives over the border into Mexico for work every day. He sent this email to my aunt a few days ago.



    Now I think I've experienced it all.

    I was at the Flextronics plant today to solve a couple of issues they had. The plant manager insisted on taking me out to lunch. I didn't really want to go because I'm afraid of what real Mexican food would do to me but decided it wouldn't be polite to turn him down. We went to a local restaurant he likes, sat down and ordered lunch. Before we were served a half dozen guys walked in locked the doors and went around and collected all of the cell phones (politely) in a pillow case. They then proceeded to sit down and have lunch. No one else was allowed in and no one in was allowed out. They finished in about an hour and before they left, the big guy who collected all the cell phones walked around giving them back. He had collected probably 30 cell phones and was able to walk up to a table and without asking, return the proper cell phone to each person just by reaching into the bag and pulling one out, never saying a word. How he could remember who's was who's was beyond me. They then unlocked the doors and left. It turns out the head guy was a high up in the cartel. He also paid for everyone's lunch and told us to have a nice day.

    Any how, thought you would like the story.


    My poor uncle probably spent that lunch thinking it was his last

    If that's true, holy , that's crazy. Too bad they're always killing people and otherwise I might be inclined to make a nice comment.

    As if border town food wasn't already enough to make someone themselves.

    Crazy stuff for sure.



    The company I used to work for that went out of business used to do a lot of business with Flextronics ... until they opened shop in Mexico for the cheaper labor. Bas s.

    This happens quite often actually, it probably was the leader, "El Chapo".

    wow, no. it was most likely a security measure to make sure that no one could give away the head dude's whereabouts. they probably had another dude posted out the door and a car at both blocks that would let anyone in or out towards the place, and more than likely shortwaves reporting in police and other traffic. your uncle couldn't have been in a more secure place then if he was in fort knox, as long as he's not in the drug trade.

    also doubt it would be chapo, i don't even think he has a reason to leave sinola anymore, just sit back, watch money pile up, and order hits like a fortune 500 ceo while listening to corridos and bandas about himself. pimp.

    the fact that it was a small man team screams zetas. the fact that the big dude had a photographic memory screams former special forces even louder.

    Cool story. Those guys are underworld capitalists and smart people, possibly even highly educated.

    Every time my wife wants to go across the border to shop, I like to show her these.......whether they are really true or not.

    I'd still be more scared of the cops than anything out there. Never had any of the gangs with me, unless you want to call the policia a gang.

    In Mexico, you call the gang hotline to report cop activity in the area.
