How could this have happened without the cooperation of the local police?
Oh, yeah. It almost certainly couldn’t have.
Mexico wants us to solve it’s internal problems. That’s not our job.

That's funny - I always thought refineries got their crude from a pipeline, not a truck.
If they "stole oil from state-owned pipelines and smuggled it across the border to sell it to U.S. refineries", they sure weren't selling very much at a time.

Prosecutors say they froze 149 bank accounts and detected bank transfers of over $46 million related to the scheme, in which the oil was smuggled across the border in tanker trucks with false import documents. Good grief, anything could be in these trucks. We wonder why we have a drug pusher problem?

Pemex ping!
Pemex estimated a 12 billion pesos loss due to theft in 2004, equivalent to 4% of national sales.
