    There's a couple things you can do to ease your worry, however nothing is totall fool proof.
    One: set up "find my iPhone/iPad" so that you could trace it if stolen. This will also allow you to "wipe it clean" remotely.
    Two: screen lock so that someone can't get into it.
    Three: set up a "burgler alarm" app to go off if it is moved. There are some free apps in the store. There's a code to disarm it, believe me you want to remember what it is!
    With all that said, someone could still make off with it.
    The iPad is nice for skype or face time if you have an internet connection.
    Soon come!

    That's almost funny. On an island that barely has a good Internet connection I want to see you track your iPad. Then of course if you have 3/4G and you can afford international roaming fees that's an option. You'll come home to data bill that will cost more than your trip. LEAVE IT HOME! Without mentioning the beach resort where I stayed in just one week time back in January there were numerous laptops and iPads stolen. In fact one morning a guest after returning from an early stroll on the beach literally caught a drunk hooker trying to break into his room by turning the door knob of several rooms to find an open one. He chased her down and reported it to security and they told him she got away next time slap her around. Remember Negril is a poormans paradise (or else we'd all be Tahiti) but to the locals you're a rich tourist ripe for the plucking. I'm not saying everyone you meet is a thief but just think of it as visit to the pirates of the Caribbean. Be street smart don't flash anything valuable. Think of it as if you're feeding the birds bread. If you throw out a little piece before you know it you have hundreds of birds flocking around for food.

    You need to change where your staying at if that is the way they take care of security. I can see something happening at any hotel on the beach at any given time but to have multiple things happening in one week. There is something going wrong at your hotel.
