Fred- mad respect to you and the boys in blue everywhere. Your points are well taken and naming names of places with excellent records are every bit as valuable as those who have fallen shy or been victimized by complacency and/or bad judgement. Makes a good blue print for others to replicate success.
Paranoia Works.
I agree, name names. As Fred said, a room invasion with a single female could quickly turn into
something else, and I would appreciate a heads up if a certain property was having problems. Twice in
a short time, I'm guessing not a coincidence.
You should run for Mayor of Negril. That is a catchy campaign slogan
Flip, Shawshank Redemption,, Best ... movie... ever... !!!!!!!!!!!
Jojo p.... Right on point. Indeed it is. Never turn it off when it is on. Can't do it.
I'm very happy that you suffered no harm other than the loss of your items and cash. However, I still feel that the bigger responsibility here is to further the protection of other guests at the hotel you do not wish to name despite the speculation. That is protecting a building and a business over your fellow guests, and all future guests at all hotels. Imagine the following conversation back home:
1st person: Hey, I just bought a new car a couple months ago, but the d#&n thing has been back in the dealers shop more than in my garage!
2nd person: Really? What kind did you buy?
1st person: Well, I don't want to say because it might look bad for the manufacturer. But watch out for problems because they happen!!!
2nd person thinking: WTF?
Protecting a business or building over the potential suffering or loss of another human being? Neither measure up to another persons loss, or far worse potential suffering as could easily happen as described by others here, especially the single woman on a peaceful weekend adventure. The "cautionary tale" as you described it does little to help prevent the same problem in the future without information on the actual place you were staying. Until then it will remain a "cautionary tale". What would be more valuable is better information for all here so that life, limb, and property an be protected and visitors could expect a peaceful stay. That will not happen by hoping it goes away or any given property is spared embarrassment, but only at the urging of many concerned travelers who make their wishes known to all hotels. At that point we could call it an pro-active tale.
Nobody is protecting the property... Its been named over and over on this thread..... As many regulars have mentioned, this type of thing has happened far too frequently to many we know personally, its time for a solution... and the solution is not to baracade yourself in your room, not to walk down the beach after dark, not to drive your scooter on the road at night, not to leave every valuable u own at home....
I say hire an armed off duty police officer to protect guests/property at night. I say like mentioned before, u could catch these guys in a sting so easy, do it..... Let the public know when it works...
Robbing people while they are in their room, robbing people walking down the beach, robbing people walking along the road during the day, robbing people while on their scooter, all with weapons is a bunch of crap and needs a serious effort to stop it...
