“who owned some property in Old Mehico”
“Ownership” is an abstract concept.
In Mexico, it’s only real if you have the guns.
And anyone with a brain knows who has the guns there.
I didn’t say the guy was bright. I got the story second-hand from a woman who knew him that I regularly talked to when I was walking my dogs.
And anyone with a brain knows who has the guns there.
I have read that so many of the deeds to property in Mexico were destroyed in the Revolution of 1910-1920 that no one is sure who owns what.
Some Americans who rented property there have come home to find everything gone and the Police saying the renters have nothing there so go away, or else.
