Which they will never abuse, right.

Good point, the previous governor Borge was stealing property all over the place.

Uh…the authority or the drug dealers??

They always stamp or seal a house like that - sometimes they sit for a year sealed up being watched by a patrol person, other times the sticker is gone in a week and life back to normal...... The houses raided and stamped the day before had stamps three times in the last year so the story goes...

Don't read too much into that article.....

And the drugs filtering from Cancun finally - lol - I remember 50k of pot being found in a car on the car ferry during covid, that was enough for one fattie per person on Cozumel - literally. That was a decent amount of cocaine in that house - one drug group ratting out another probably

So this story sounds a little off.
If they were fishing and got stranded on a sandbar in the Punta Sur park when their boat ‘was dragged off by the current’. I believe the entire area off the Punta Sur park is inside the marine park.

POLICE CAUGHT ALLEGED THIEF, IN THE SAN GERVASIO COLONY!

- He was carrying a suitcase with diving equipment, and could not credite the origin
Alerta Cozumel Elements of the Directorate of Public Safety secure a male during the early morning carrying a suitcase with complete diving equipment in the vicinity of the colony San Gervasio.
Municipal police were on crime deterrence runs on 135th Avenue with 5th Street South of the colony San Gervasio when they observe a subject wearing a black sweatshirt and black denim pants, dragging a large black suitcase with the caption "Deep sea" so the elements approach with your unit but this person took an evasive attitude, before this the uniformed descend from the unit to conduct an inspection but this began to insult the police.
The officers proceeded to check the inside of the suitcase finding a complete diving equipment, in front of the probable commission of a crime the police placed the locks on the male to be transferred to the Public Security facilities remaining at the disposal of the civil judge on duty.

Would be nice to know where the gear was stolen from (house rental , off ferry , dive dock …). My assumption would be some house rental break-in since I don’t think there is much theft from ferry, airport or marina (during the day at least ) , but things change ….

Thank God it wasn't an evil Cozumel down current, it would have swallowed them and their boat whole

I've seen a lot of interest in AirbNBs and other host rentals, but they seem to be easy targets for burglars. How many on the island have electronic safes? Yet I doubt that one would take much interest in dive gear with other valuables around. I'd suspect that the full dive bag was left laying somewhere in public while the owner was distracted. It would be nice to know.
