Since Mexico abandoned all their oil rigs, if I can find someone crazy enough to go there, will I be able to?
claim them as abandoned property under international law. Was just thinking if that would work.

Dean is 6mph short of being a cat 5. Not many will take you up on that suicide mission.
If the rig is in international waters, and not owned by the government, but rather by a corporation, then yes - I believe you could take possesion. Whether you could retain possession or not is another story.
Maritime law is really tricky and there are people that specialize in it. Admiralty lawyers could probably best answer your question - it would be an interesting situation.
wow. Don't know where to start. Your question is f**ked up on so many levels.
You go ahead and go to Mexico and camp out on one of those rigs. Then, after the weather passes and those mexicans show up, you tell them you are claiming the property as abandoned under some unknown international law.
After they finish laughing, they will throw you in a mexican jail and feed you cockroach tortillas and water until you are about 80 years old or dead... whichever comes first.
Bottom line. don't ever go to mexico and get caught screwing around. You will regret it..
who cares what you think. lol:-)
