Ford F350
ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO—An alert security guard and fast police response led to the vehicle of a San Diego County tourist being recovered before its owner even knew it was stolen.
“It was amazing,” said Gary Pimentel of Vista, California, whose Ford F350 was stolen from the dirt road leading to the popular Popotla fishing village just south of downtown Rosarito.
The suspected thief was arrested within minutes after a very brief police pursuit and Pimentel got his vehicle back the next day.
