Good points Rob!

I have been the victim of theft before while on vacation (not in Jamaica). While I would never blame the victim, in both cases it was as a result of me being too comfortable (and a little drunk). In one instance I left my camera on a table in a pub, turned my back for a few moments and took a few short steps to the bar to pay my bar tab and when I turned around my camera was gone. The second incident happened when I broke the golden rule of never flashing large amounts of cash. I pulled out a rather large stack of bills to pay for an item and I guess I was being watched becasue not more than a few seconds after I left the establishment I felt a hand in my pocket, before I realized what had happened the perp was gone and I was without my wallet.

Sure, you can go and relax but you ALWAYS need to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings wherever you go (Jamaica or otherwise).
