Crime & Villa Rentals - PLEASE read this before you go!
I hate to spread fear...but there is an article in August 2006 Conde Nast Traveler magazine about the recent rise of burglaries and other crimes related to villa rentals primarily in Caribbean, but Europe as well.
Anyone thinking about renting or about to go on a villa rental vacation MUST read this article! There is a security checklist that is invaluable for your safety.
I checked CNT's website and this article is not on it...yet. They have July articles, but not August. Not sure if this will be on the website, but again...do yourself a favor and get the magazine from library or buy it..if you are renting a villa.
Hope this helps...

thinking it's time to top this.
Not wanting to be a fear monger...just want folks to think when the rent a villa or house or just go on vacation, especially to the "tropical climates." Somehow, we sometimes forget that because WE are on vacation, that we are in paradise. Use common sense and have a great time.
