Nevermind my earlier question about how safe it was in the Arizona border region. I just found an article about 600 illegals who crossed the border at Douglas en masse. See Like a Marathon.

I like to hike in the back country, but I don't want to have to pack a side arm in order to do it safely. Nor do I want to leave my new vehicle parked at some remote trailhead (or even parked on a Douglas street for that matter).

Oh gosh, do not bring your new vehicle to AZ!! We have some of the highest auto theft rates in the country. Me neighbor had his car stolen and the insurance company did not settle for three weeks because they were waiting to see if it would be recovered. Never was. Probably a chop shop sent it to Mexico.
