More than that it appears they knew there would be valuable items left unsecured. They also knew what time was best as they were on site for "20 minutes". In and out with a clear target.Quote:

it's good to remember that the "working" folks on the beach watch us foreigners . . .
we are people of habit and tend to do the same thing day in and day out . . .
they pay attention to that . . .
scary stuff for sure . . .
gerry asked why they steel from tourists? we are easy targets, like robbing little old ladies while they cross the street . . .
first thing i learned about Jam: they're are eyes, and ears everywhere.....I'm glad you weren't physically hurt... Security seems like they dropped the ball...Too bad a persons got lock up everything down like fort knox...Cant even enjoy the evening breeze with a window open..
I respect your choice not to name the hotel but i personally think its a good idea too give tourits the heads up about a property's security(or lack of it)..for all you know they could be in on it...
for every reported robbery, bet there is as many that don't get reported . . .
FYI-i didnt mean the hotel itself- but some type of inside job...
I would think that a reference to "occasional" here would be to Negril in general and the hundered of thousands of people visting versus incidents of theft per year not "occasional" to one particular property.
Not knowing the full story regarding personal responsibility, security staffing and procedure on site, hotel staff response, police response etc I would be hesitant to name the hotel if I felt all was done in my best interest. Could be wrong and it won't be the last time either.
I think from now on I'll bring along a sit/stand alarm we use on confused patients and attach alarm to wall and clip to door knob....open door....wake up the dead.....
Pretty funnyQuote:

I think the door alarms are the way to go..The ones I bought were from Walmart..they have 2 pieces..put one on the door frame and one on the door..they touch each other..when the door opens and they are not touching...an alarm goes off..I would imagine you can use them on windows also..anywhere really.. I just want to know when the door opens..after that... I will scream while my husband clobbers them..(thats my plan and I'm sticking to it!!)
