So these petty "thieves" killed 3 athletic, grown men execution style, removed the wheels from their truck, kept the tires, put the wheels back on the truck, and then burned the truck?

So sad. I remember driving into Mexico as a kid with my family, this was in 1968. I was 12 yrs old, and we stopped along a beach where some buildings were being constructed. There was a mariachi band playing, and I think they were setting up for a party later that afternoon. My dad was talking to the men and they let us kids play on the beach. There were hundreds of sand dollars, and we asked if we could take some. The men laughed and said take as many as you want, but my father said we could each take only 1. Everyone was so nice to us, it's so sad to think there is so much crime and misery now. I think most if it is due to drugs. I really hate people who use illegal drugs. They ruin so many innocent lives.

Reality is most addicts aren’t enjoying it and want to quit, wether they admit it or not. It’s not as simple as it seems and blaming the low level users is ridiculous.

I have a Chrysler 300 with nice wheels, I will definitely have a high chance of being either robbed or killed for it. Unless you’re a local or have family, you shouldn’t go to Mexico. If I go, it’s with people who know the area and I go on their car. My friend took his lifted truck to Juarez because his girlfriend was in the hospital. He got robbed at gun point at a traffic light.

SO HEARTBREAKING

[@vincelafore4281]

Why would you say its for their yruck tires? The tires are still on the truck. Wuts up?

[@badluckjames9609]

When they said killed for tires, i thought they meant rims. But then the burnt out truck still had rims. Hmmm...

[@hokeywolf3416]

The tires and truck are destroyed. These 3 may have seen someone or something, and we're all silenced. Cartel

[@greatsol2444]

Nobody mentions it’s an obvious hate crime.

[@mikeB-sg1zs]

“Truck tires” bro makes total sense. Still mounted on the burned out truck but they killed them over the “tires”

[@thedrunkweddingphotographer]

People don't delete you for free in Mexico. My suspicion is these guys were up to something they aren't telling us. Drugs, girls etc. have high prices in Mexico and I ain't talking about money.

[@diegoflores9237]

That's speculation. What is true is that they were in a beach that's known for cartel activity and it's secluded away from help. Also they camped there meaning they were in the cartel zone at dangerous hours

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

It was literally for the tires on their truck... Which is very common. If you drive in Mexico, you will very likely be carjacked. This isn't anything new.

[@foedeer]

Did you not hear that they wanted the tyres?

[@timadams940]

Dude, your clueless speculation is crass , tasteless and clearly motivated by your own inadequacies

[@robertadams4600]

Not true. People are killed for their cars in southern Mexico. Almost happened to a family member. Decades ago, an ex coworker who is now a cop traveled home to Agua Caliente with a firearm under his car seat. That is a felony in Mexico. The truck he was driving was new and even he felt he could be deleted on a highway or toll road for his truck.

What gets me is that these surfers would get nothing different from the beaches of Mexico. Same climate, same ocean, same waves, etc. Secondly, the picture shows a burned truck with the tires still on it. Even this story has so much BS. They more than likely wandered onto hostile cartel grounds.

[@user-mv8dm6zs6j]

Why are the tires still on the truck?

[@FastFatman]

The excrement that killed these guys are probably living in a $500.00 a night hotel in N.Y.C. waiting for their benefits courtesy of the Big Guy. There just as dangerous here as they are in Mexico Joey.

[@spidersenior]

lol what does that even mean get some air brother

[@FastFatman]

@@spidersenior It's pretty self explanatory. Read it out loud slowly to yourself if you need to.

[@skyrocketcoast219]

This, it is extremely tragic . My most sincere condolences to their families.

[@josephernest3787]

The thieves took the tires without removing the wheels? Or did the thieves take the time to reintall the bare wheels? It looks like the tires are missing because flames stole them.

[@oscarcaruso204]

3 years ago when we traveled to Mexico also for surfing trip , we ran into a 10-20 foot hole on the remote road, we quickly turned around HEADED HOME. Later we found out that holes were dug out for American tourists , so they would stop, or crash into the holes, then would be robbed or held for ransom, no thanks, haven’t been back 😊

[@anavillalta5774]

Who dafuq goes to Mexico

[@CarportCarl]

I have not been to Mexico since Jan 1986. That was just Nogales and it was bad then.

[@Chuck-yt7iq]

4 million americans on a daily basis. 2 million live there

[@Choose_thisDey]

Lies maybe a bad drug deal

[@babayaga489]

I highly doubt tyres had anything to do with it…..

[@sneat2028]

They did not go to Mexico to surf. This was drugs related, they were involved with the cartel.

[@wendyhardin5259]

Over frickin tires. What the hell is wrong with people!

[@Lightning613]

and, the tires are melted on the rims . . . ???????? 🤔

[@Chuck-yt7iq]

They feed u bs there. They feed u bs here. Dont be so gullible.

[@frankesposito2182]

They are evil

[@Lightning613]

@NR-uq3wx they didn’t. That photo showed melted tires still on the rims.
