The tiefs will continue to prowl the beach hotels until an example is made of one, or several of them. Like Fredstripe said, we don't hear of tiefs being arrested for tiefing tourists.
These guys are scumbag cowards. If the cops, or some security firm, set up a sting operation and nailed a few of these disgusting pigs, and they were then publicly ostracized - like a stockade at the traffic circle - thievery would abruptly fall off. Believe me.
Don't laugh, the Jamaican police are know to publicly display criminals that they have shot and killed, its true. Jamaicans hate thieves, and know how to look after them when they are caught. There would be no public outcry against such a program.
In this thread alone we have heard of two tourists being threatened with knives by low life thieves in their rooms in the middle of the night.
Serious action is required before someone gets mutilated or killed in a robbery.
If/when that happens, the impact on tourism in Negril will be absolutely devastating.
Wake up. Someone in Negril has to get proactive on this problem.
