While I still think the best, safest advice is not to use the route taxis, your advice about not getting into a taxi with 2 people in it could be helpful should someone choose to use a route taxi. But I am not sure how letting your wife in last would make much of a difference with a knife pulled on her. Doors can be locked remotely so I dont really see a strong benefit there.

And no one here or anywhere else I can think of has ever stated or acted like there is no crime in Negril. There is crime everywhere on the planet - no place is immune. As I mentioned, I was woken up to the news this morning. But there is no real point in allowing stories when they start "I just heard from my friend in Negril that his cousin told him that...." - anyone who knows the Negril Rumor Mill knows how fabricated most of those stories tend to be...

We live here and can find out the truth, if there is any, behind most of those stories in minutes. And unlike this case which was explained very accurately, in many cases the stories are half truths at best - which is not helpful to anyone.

I would like to personally thank Hussyband for relaying this difficult story and reminding us all to remain cautious...
