No, actually, I don't think so. It's not a matter of petty crime any more in SXM. Serious, VIOLENT crime, against locals AND tourists.. To me, the concept that tourists should not be concerned about crime against locals is abhorrent. Yes, to some extent, crimes of locals against locals, where people know each other, and the motive is PERSONAL, yes, that is somewhat different. But all these robberies of grocery stores, casinos, jewelry stores, etc., etc., etc., this is random, SERIOUS, violence against another human being, and should not be tolerated in a civilized society.
