I'm so sorry to hear about this. I think maybe I can speak for many others by saying that your experience reminds us all to practice with even more awareness the things that we know are important. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

"There's a land not so far away/Where the sun keep shinning all through the day/And this land that we all love/God gave us the wood and the water/Blessed by the moon and stars above/Sweet, sweet Jamaica/Beautiful Jamaica/Everyday feels like a holiday/Sweet reggae music playing/From Negril to Morant Bay/Sweet, sweet Jamaica/Oh Jamaica/Irie, irie, irie Jamaica/Sweet Jamaica our land we love"
… it would be nice if you could just come back to your hotel and relax while on vacation and not think about every little security precaution..but unfortunatly-so it goes in Jam…(and yes, i know other places in the world too)
I'm so sorry for the ordeal you had to go thru Roland-terrible…Glad you were not physically harmed….and thanks for sharing your story-just re-enforces how one has to be on their A-game in regards to safety …

NOT COOL
Really glad to hear you are home safe, and personally appreciate you sharing the details of this. Take care Roland.
Stir IT UP
This is in response to GerryG's list which just serves to scare people:
1) I left my camera at Canoe and went back about two hours later and it was stored safely behind the cashier.
Ted,
We have even seen many examples of taxi drivers tracking down tourists to return items such as cameras that they had left by accident in their vehicles. That doesnt happen in most places!

I accidentally left my camera behind at Cosmo's beach once. An employee found it and came running after me, gave it back and refused to accept any money for its safe return. Have also been ripped off in Negril a few times. At a popular AI resort, some of my perfume and makeup was stolen through the unscreened bathroom window slats. There are good people and bad people wherever you go. Fortunately, where I live there isn't much crime, but I still diligently keep my doors locked and will never be without a dog. It's just so disheartening to keep hearing/reading the stories, especially when they happen in the middle of the night while people are sleeping (or not) in their rooms. If that ever happened to me, I'd be outa there and would have a hard time ever going back. And I know this mostly happens to people who have had to much to drink, smoke, or just simply forgot to bolt the door, but...

Maybe only in JA! I can't count the amount of times people have brought my camera gear back to me or had it waiting for my return. So...3 Dives 3 years ago... I was asked if I lost a camera lens...nope was my answer and even after being shown the 70-200mm I said it was not mine. The dude was determined to find the owner after finding it 5-10 years before.Originally Posted by Rob

Sorry to hear about this most unpleasant incident. I can see why you would be turned off Negril. I hope in time that you will overcome this feeling and return to Negril to enjoy the "good" people there and all that they have to offer. We leave on Saturday for a 2 week stay and will be looking for long term accommodations for future trips. We were going to check out the property you stayed at but now have some concerns with safety. I am not familiar with the neighborhood but it didn't appear to be "out of the way" or isolated in any way. Could you provide your perspective on this. Any idea where Luna was during this home invasion? My understanding is that she is in charge of security.
