    Subject: Re: [roatan] more on crime and the catch 22 of this forum




    I was going to stay out but I believe people should
    have all the facts for any decision they may make
    especially if it's to live somewhere. I do agree 100%
    that the types/amount of crime in Roatan is no where
    near any city in the good old USA. So I don't think a
    discussion about the 'petty' crimes/theft in Roatan
    should be a deterrent to anyone wanting to vacation
    there or live there. It just makes everyone aware of
    the 'whole' picture. I would want to know.
