This is disturbing. We are around that age, and we walk from BBB and/or Red Piano back to our unit at La Vista Beach at least once or twice each trip. We've never felt the need to be concerned for our safety in that area. I wear only costume jewelry on the island, and never carry a purse. I think that makes us less of a target, but who knows? If the crooks assume that my husband has a wad of cash in his wallet and decide to threaten us with guns to get it, then so be it. They'll get little, but it will still be an unsettling experience, and change yet another way we enjoy the island.

I hope we'll get more information about this attack.
