Safety and security-random thoughts

Great idea with the bottles and fishing line Limo Mon!

I bring a little bell and set up a trip line on the door....A robbery is a man on man thing..A burglary is going into a room. Big difference...These were burglaries.

That's the great thing about the Seastar Inn. Never any break-ins. For a time, there were break-ins at the RIU Club (through the doors, I believe), so I bought a little fold-up door stopper for my own peace of mind. If you're worried about inside jobs with folks who might have keys or are in cooperation with dishonest staffers, the door jam is perfect.

Fred Stripe thank you. I initially thought 'several ROBBERIES'? Being the victim of theft still sucks though.

This post prompted me to have a look at what is available. Not just for Negril but for travel in general. I was in Costa Rica recently and my friend had a pacsafe which really did provide us with comfort knowing our things were well secured. Here's a link for some very reasonable options.

Love my pacsafe, also use a door stopper for the front door at night as well as the extra lock for the sliding glass doors. No worries for me, never a burglary for me. I like to sleep soundly at night & I do.

I talked to guy last evening who was ripped off in November at Gatehouse. He admits he probably should have closed and locked the door and that he was pretty wasted. The burglars came in while they slept. It kind of reminds me of not feeding the bears in Yellowstone. Please keep your arms inside the car and lock your doors.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster no matter where you rest your head at night.

I've heard this story or a variation of it dozens of times over the years. If you don't behave a certain way at home, don't behave that way in Negril, Cancun, Toronto, Chicago, Miami, Paris, London, etc.
