He reached the front as the thief passed the gate. He described him as a young man (early 20's) with short dreads tied back in a knot armed with a knife. Although he was then pursued by Security, he got away. The Security at the beach was asleep when my friend reached there -- not sure where the one was at the Security shack, as the thief passed there before he cut back to the beach. Only lost an IPhone and a bottle of perfume in the whole thing. However, I have stayed at the same place for years and have the same concerns about the "rent-a-cops" on the night shift as well as the amount of time the thief was on the property checking for open rooms. I also think that the hotel needs to update the lock system, so that the door knob always remains locked from the outside. Also, the use of the rental security company needs to be re-examined in my opinion.
