    I'm sorry, this is too sketchy! It is too unsafe to go back and "try" and get that van! One, it's most likely stripped! Two, someone may hide something inside, when you two try to bring in back over the boarder, then you'll end up in jail in Mexico, three, it's going to cost you more than it's worth! My goodness, let it GO, and purchase another one! Why keep dragging this out, on a lost cause, really? Sometimes you have to be smart about things. Please think about your safety, in a "suspect" place!!!! It's NOT your van anymore!

    Sorry to hear about your confusion and uncertainty. Unfortunately, both the Embassy is correct and your lawyer is correct. The situation of getting you car confiscated due to not having a TIP is confiscation of the vehicle with little to no recourse. Like I said earlier, you did the right thing in getting an Attorney. The Embassy was correct in saying that %90 don’t get their vehicle back because they don’t get a lawyer and the vehicle is forfeited or the fine is so high the individual can’t pay it. So even though that call was ambiguous, he was correct. Your lawyer is also correct that he can get it back for you by paying fines and expenses if it is clean so to speak. The issue is going to be the amount of the fine and legal fees.
    Once again, if you need someone to give you some clarity, I am always available to help, just reach out. My email is in the description of my latest videos. I do Zoom consults for free no catch.

    I hate that you’re going through this, but breaking the law in Mexico is a big deal and once you get caught, it can be difficult or impossible to resolve.
    The van was used illegally because you didn’t have a TIP, which will make it much harder to get back. For everyone else, don’t enter Mexico without a TIP (unless you will 100% be in the free zone) a clear title (no liens) and Mexican car insurance. US insurance is useless here. Keep the faith that they will cut you a break, but understand they don’t have to.

    From what I read about the embassy there, they only handle cases of stolen vehicles if the vehicle was stolen in the states and taken to Mexico. It sounds like the embassy guy has probably heard about these types of situations but doesn’t get involved and doesn’t want to get involved.

    I have been thinking about how could you possibly have gone all the way to Cancun without a temporary import permit on your van, as around the border it isn't necessary for such permit, but as soon as you drive a few miles towards south you would find a custom post where they would tell you you cannot go south without the permit. After thinking about it, I believe I know the cause.
    You drove on the coastal road, famously known for being dangerous, cartel territory, and that is why there was no customs inspection post at that road. Mexican customs must have decided it was too dangerous to keep guards/inspectors there. That made it possible for you to drive all the way to Cancun, and you were lucky that nothing bad happened.
    When you decided to take the inland road there were posts set up to check all cars, and...

      Now it all makes sense. So basically they took a route they should not have, possibly to avoid tolls or fees, and ended up getting their van confiscated for breaking the law by not getting a TIP (Temporary Import Permit) before entering the country. Got it!

It definitely sounds like you're in the middle of a shakedown. If I recall correctly, I believe RUclipsrs @FnAVanLife found themselves in a similar situation during their trip traveling through South America sometime during the pandemic, and they were just told to turn around, go get the proper permit, and come back. Maybe reaching out to them would help, they are a married full time van life couple and are really nice. Praying for you in this trying time

      Why would you be embarrased? Don't be. If you drove to the US with MX plates illegally where would you and your vehicle be? They are home and free to travel, you'd be in jail. The least of your worries would be your vehicle.
      Every country has laws. They have taken accountability for their lack of knowledge and are taking steps to get their van back.
      This city in MX did nothing wrong but follow their laws which are readily available not hidden, not enforced selectively.
      The feelings they have towards their experience is emotionally charged as it should be. Don't be embarrassed for your country for this specific situation

    It may be time to notify the vehicle lien holder. I know you all may not want to because you are in violation of the contract terms by taking the vehicle outside the US. Plus your US auto insurance does not cover you outside the US and I believe you all stated in the comment that you don't have Mexican auto insurance.
    I also recommend you all contact a US attorney because Mexico may not be able to legally take a vehicle that the drivers do not own. If you had applied for a TIP (Temporary Import Permit) you would not have been allowed to bring the vehicle into the country because you don't own it, therefore you would not have had the title to register it.
    You all broke the law by bringing a vehicle into Mexico without a TIP, and you've had this vehicle in their country since December 2023 without a TIP. This may be the reason they confiscated your van and are refusing to return it. They are more than likely thinking you all think you can outsmart them because they know already you don't own the van. They are probably just waiting for the lien holder to take the necessary steps to have to van returned to the US and are showing you all that you can't outsmart them. But contact a US attorney and the lien holder. It's already bad but continuing to wait will probably only make things worse. The worst that can happen is you lose the van. You all can "work" to get another one. Best of luck!

They really don’t know Tenaj and Tino. They don’t nor do they want to get involved. Months later, I learned about other Americans in varies countries who looked to the embassy for intervention/information/help to no avail.
    The Mexican licensed lawyer appears to be more knowledgeable with the laws of Aduna. I say go with the lawyer because there’s movement and knowledge there than with the embassy telling you what typically happens without rationale. Why didn’t it work for others in your situation? Did they work with a lawyer? Ya know?

    Also, I think people are wanting you to give up hope on getting the van out of pure intentions but also out of being triggered by previous traumas where they experienced being let down from being hopeful. Think of Harriet Tubman and how her father lacked faith and hope in the thought of living a life free from slavery. It was scary/stressful/unimaginable for him but possible for Miss Harriet.
    Y’all were presented with options, and it’s only logical to go down the path of selecting the most beneficial options until you get definitive answers. Y’all aren’t in denial. You’re just giving yourselves what y’all deserve which is answers. You’re going through the process of getting a yes or no, and that can appear stressful and scary to onlookers.

      The secret squirrel sh*t is because government agents, even ones doing regular tedious jobs, often become targets when they give bad news. Many end up stalked and hurt or threatened. Sad but true. Even in the UK, many officials in certain advisory roles have to hold back their full identities. Even the emergency service call handlers here do not give full names because they are dealing with people who are at their most volatile when under stress.

      They haven't contacted the lien holder because they are in violation of the contract. You can only take a vehicle out of the country if you hold a clear title, and the only way they can get a clear title is by paying the vehicle off, which they probably can't afford to do considering they are asking for donations. Even if they don't get the van back, they will still owe the lien holder. Plus their US auto insurance does not cover them outside the US and I believe I read in another post that they did not get Mexican insurance. They should contact a US attorney because I don't know if Mexico can legally keep a car that is owned by someone else, which is probably a bank or credit union. It's all a mess. SMH

    I think that the guy from the embassy was telling you that there IS a loophole. That is why he didn't give you a last name and sounded vague. (Also because you might be hanging him out to dry here, to some degree. 😎)
    But that may mean that you have to STOP posting videos about this for a while and if you do get the van back never make a video about how you did that.
    Talk to as many people as possible who did get their van back but don't post anything about it.
    Don't give in too much to your feelings of confusion and powerlessness. (I know very well how easy it is for me to say that.)

      I agree. Working in surveillance, I also interpreted that call as 'there is a loophole but I am not able to tell you what it is as my job would be on the line'. Good observation.

U.S. Foreign Service Officers also carry out duties related to advancing U.S. interests abroad. Embassy staff members interact with representatives of the host government, local businesses, nongovernmental organizations, the media, educational institutions, and private citizens. In these interactions, they increase mutual understanding of the United States and its policies.

      No. It wasn't stolen. It was confiscated for not having a required permit. They should report it as confiscated to their insurance company and their lienholder. Nothing good can come from not being open, honest, and upfront. Having worked in insurance for 28 years, I can say this with certainty.

    Who is advising you? Everything in Mexico is done with a lawyer. The information from police, to your lawyer and relayed to you. The penalty or process to get your temporary import documents. Again everything given to your Mexican lawyer, in Spanish,wo anyone standing by, standing over the discussion. Your lawyer will be able to get the information, regular logical sentences that are standard in the United States are the same in Mexico, exactly the same. Where will our vehicle be stored? What is the fee? We need a receipt. Will you contact us? Or our lawyer. What is the regular infraction fee ? From your videos is as if you didn't leave them with a local point of contact and you may have abandoned your vehicle or they may assume that. The consulate is certainly not where you would turn for not having documents, straight forward questions, like ooops what do we do to fix this?? Ooops my Spanish isn't good enough, my knowledge of the law is not good enough, who does my lawyer need to speak with, do they have a phone number? Do they keep office hours? What is the address our lawyer will contact them ASAP. You don't ( ever, never) ask a non Mexican to fix a problem in Mexico. You never ever ever get frustrated or upset at police or other officials for not speaking English, French, German, Dutch, Russian or Chinese.. business in Mexico is conducted in Spanish using Mexican slang and common phrases that are unique to Mexico. I have traveled these roads many times. And experienced problems, and all were resolved. All the cartel boogie man stuff is not productive, using toll roads during the day and speaking w Mexican authorities before you have any issues. There is no such thing as a free zone. The only free zone is Baja Norte and once you cross from Norte to Sur you need temp import docs w proof of payment. When you take the ferry it should be in your possession. I feel bad about your situation and you should immediately reach out to a lawyer who works near where your van is located. And you can call the delegate or state President and explain the situation and that you are Americans and need help, again all those calls will happen in Spanish by someone who knows the players involved. Example, in your videos never heard the name of the police precinct or police chiefs name.. there are laws in Mexico for illegal importing a vehicle and solutions.
    Mexico has 130 million people. The unemployment rate is 2.84% the economy is on fire.. consulate will not even know where to start about a van taken after an importation violation..

    Hey, I would advise not to publicise calls at all. This in itself can get you in a whole lot of trouble unless the person with whom you are on the call has given permission in writing. I know you want to make interesting videos but broadcasting segments of phone calls against permission could lead to an even bigger mess. It doesn't matter where you put those calls; even in a membership group, it is not right to do it and you can find there are legal ramifications from this, even months later. Would any of us like our calls, which we believe to be between ourselves and the other party, to be broadcast on the internet?
    When recording officials' phone calls, you could be on the wrong side of the law in broadcasting or giving transcripts.

    At first I felt for you guys losing your van but now I am getting upset when I see that you are making anyone here believe that the confiscation of your van is unfair and unlawful and it is Mexico the one to blame as we all know Mexico to be “shady” and “corrupt” right? But actually you lost your van because you guys preferred to break the law than to pay a few bucks and get your TIP and although I am sorry that that happened I do not appreciate at all the fact that you guys are now here loving and promoting those comments dizzying Mexico. So what is it? Are you happily smearing my country cause you prefer your followers to blame it on the low repute country -which is actually the one that is doing the right thing in this story- rather than admitting you tried to save money, break the law (because it is Mexico right?) and now you blame it on Mexico cause they are not willing to be corrupt to favor you? Or is it just cause it is ok to smear the already damaged image of Mexico than to damage yours? You might not be white but you are definitely acting like white people.

Mexico was being smeared many years before we made these videos. We also made 20 videos about how great Mexico is also. Please go through all our videos and comments before making an untrue statement. We always admitted it was our fault. It’s the process in which it was taken and how to get it back is what is at question. You cannot find any comment of my wife and I bashing Mexico.
