The aircraft in the picture doesn't quite look like a Pawnee
to me. Is the picture flattened out a bit perhaps or is it
really some other model ?

Yes, the picture is stretched left to right. It is a Pawnee however. Maybe a
local glider club needed a tow plane? Naw, I don't think that is the case. I
wonder just how many other types of airplanes are stolen in Mexico a year?

Very few. I asked my agent about that before going down there. If you
talk to the Bush Pilot Association they will tell you that everyone
has a story about a friend's plane being stolen in Mexico but if you
ask N numbers you almost always come up empty. I think they said that
there are approx 1 verifiable airplane stolen in Mexico a year
(usually a 210). My agent says he sees more planes stolen in the U.S.
with prop locks, locked hangers and wheel locks.
