OK - so Rondell doubles or triples their security. Good for them, bad for all the other hotels that can't really afford it because the thieves will avoid Rondell and move down the beach a little. Not every hotel can afford to install state of the art security and employ Homeland Security.
Yes, security is really important, but the real problem here is the thieves. Right?
What about robberies on the street, on the beach?
So how about focusing on going after the thieves? Am I missing something here?
Maybe we should build a Green Zone around the beach area of Negril and have everybody enter and leave thru two armed security portals. That would probably be secure enough to keep the thieves out. That seems to be the ultimate result of the 'improve security' mindset.
Or, alternatively, maybe the focus should be on the thieves? There are a LOT of thieves in Negril during the high season.
Catch them and punish them. I know, easier said than done. But worth a concerted effort. Otherwise, we lose the place.
