[QUOTE=irie always;19415]I believe Christine said "she did use the wooden stick" - more than once, actually- so there is evidence of people's interpertations of what they have just read.QUOTE]

You're correct. She did post that here on the board. However, when it happened, she told other hotel guests she fell asleep & did not/forgot to use the wooden stick. It's not an interpretation. It's the difference of how she reported the event at the time & what she's now reporting here on the board.

Regardless of the board version of the story vs the story she told guests at the time, the lesson to be learned is to be vigilant whenever you are on vacation. In a way, I guess I was lucky to have been close to a break in early on in my visits to Negril. Because of that I have always been very careful, always made sure my doors were securely locked, haven't left windows open or doors cracked, carried a lock, use my pacsafe, etc.


"i think it should be pointed out that Ms. Gaynair is among the most respected -- and consistently praised -- hoteliers in Negril ...."

I agree. All the more reason for the original, complete story to be told.
