This thread sure has evolved! I think many of the points made by the posters can help newbie or newer visitors to Negril, and also serve as a reminder to the more seasoned Negril visitors that reasonable care must be taken at all times. From using safe deposit boxes, not carrying excess cash, or documents not required, staying away from dark or isolated areas. If it's your day to indulge to some greater extent in the red stripe, rum or some other thing, move around with a trusted friend, or stay in a place where you will be secure and looked after. Bad things can happen anywhere, (I don't know of any country that doesn't have jails). Best advice is to have fun, but staying safe is always a first priority.
