In a recent post, I recounted how the National Park Service implanted microchips in a bunch of cacti in Arizona so that they could be tracked if stolen, which I guess happened back in 2007. In Mexico the trouble tends to be less with stolen vegetation than with kidnappings -- much less prickly; much more valuable. And, you guessed it, sales of transmistter chips have 'jumped by 13 percent this year after kidnappings surged by almost 40 percent in the country between 2004 and 2007'.
