I have a similar story, where five of us were coming back from Bob's Lobster lunches in Mexico. We were driving in a convertable, drunk - and we thought that car surfing was a good idea at the time, oddly enough thats not what they pulled us over for. One of us decided to take a leak on the highway leading back to the border and thats when the Mexican Police stopped us and demanded $350 before we could leave. And let me tell you, they may not be able to speak english but they sure do know enough to speak on the topic of American currency.
Anyway, to make a long story short, after two hours of detaining us on the side of the road we negotiated it down $35.
What was even more ironic is that when we were in the line to cross the border back to the good ol' USA, the vendors wouldn't stop bothering us with their trinkets-and since we only had some coins on us, we decided to throw them at the vendors out of an afternoon of frustration.
Comedy of Errors...I tell ya.
