(Jeff) Cirillo, 35, played (baseball) over the winter in Mexico and talked about a bizarre experience on his second day, driving from Tijuana to Mexicali over the Tijuana Mountains. He looked down and saw 500 cars at the bottom, and thought: "What am I doing here? I'm gonna die in the Tijuana Mountains."
He later learned that the cars were driven over the edge intentionally so their owners could declare them stolen and collect insurance money.
