Guymas is an international airport your equipment is very, very safe in

security at most small dirt strips is tighter than security at LAX.
Many airports have their own outposts complete with a hummer and 10-15
guards with M-16's 24x7 (you can hear them listening to Shakira on the
radio at night). Everytime you walk up to your plane you are greeted by
someone with an M-16 asking you to demonstrate your paperwork.

You are not allowed to leave your plane overnight in Mexico unless there
is 24/7 security.

I"m not sure the interpretation of that law. Alphonsinas does not have
any military on the field but I've parked my plane there many times.
Perhaps the hotel manager is considered "security" in that case. I have
taken some late night walks down the runway and had the airport manager
ask what I was doing ("Bella Vista" is my limited Spanish response).
However, every other place I've even landed in Mexico that allows
overnight parking does have military on the field.
