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.


This was many years ago, but we rented a car and went shopping in Phillipsburg, on our way back to the French side we stopped at a small beach (I don't remember the name). We had put everything in the trunk and walked down to the beach. When we got back the trunk had been broken into and everything was gone, except the cheap T-shirts that they give away, they left those behind.

That was my first and last trip to St. Martin.
