Just an example of the craziness that happens in my city

Read this link on a kidnap and murder and torture plot that happened in San Diego and Tijuana.

The sheer craziness of the story is just something that if you offered this as a script it would be denied.

Living on an avocado farm: check
Selling shady cancer cure: check
Meeting in Horton Plaza food court to discuss a kidnapping plot: Check
Ex-KGB agent (and it is not a Tom Clancy novel): Check
Pliers and duct tape: Check
Jealousy, cheating and confused investigations: Check
Heartache and very little resolution: Sadly, Check.

It kind of annoys me that Mexico would not extradite that murdered unless they were promised that he could not get life in prison!
