On occasion I like to search news.google.com for Bonaire and see what the rest of the world is talking about.

Don't you think some of these crimes are inside jobs. At least it doesn't seem to be as menacing. Always use the hotel safes.

We stayed at Captain Don's in September (junior Suite) and they had installed electronic room safes large enough to put laptops and cameras etc in.

Inside Jobs? I don't know.

We were in Bonaire this past October. We were speaking to a few of the local divemasters who we have come to know quite well from our previous trips. They said that drugs are now a big problem on Bonaire. What their idea of "big" is, I really don't know, but when the drugs become a big problem, there will be more theft.

We have been to Bonaire 4 times and have never had any problems. We always use the safe, never leave doors or window open when we are gone, also pull the curtains. Never leave anything outside when we are gone or asleep. We never leave anything of any value in our rental truck. But then we take these same precautions at home. Crime has increased everywhere in the last few years, even here in the boonies. On the whole we believe Bonaire is one of the safest islands we have been to.

We have been to Bonaire several times yearly for the past 12 years and have NEVER had a problem. Crime is everywhere, not just Bonaire or the Caribbean. Common sense needs to be practiced at home as well.
