I disagree. Circumstances sometimes require us to leave a few possessions in the trunk of our rental car when we park. In eight visits to St. Maarten, we've never had a car break-in or any kind of incident. Of course one could happen tomorrow -- in Boston or St. Maarten. Driving at night on either side of the island has never worried me.


Agree, we just spent 2 weeks on the French Side, driving over to AUC some nights to have dinner with our daughter in Simpson Bay or Cole Bay, never worried at all. We always pay attention to our surroundings, but to be honest, I've been more worried driving some places at home at night.
