13. Security - Please take the time to ready the note below regarding opportunistic crime
As much as we would like to think that our fishing village is a safe and friendly paradise, we would be failing our duty to you, our valued guests, not to point out that petty theft does happen when given the opportunity.
The crime which targets small high value items like wallets, cell phones, iPods, laptops, GPS's, camera's and binocular, is generally not violent and often compromises the following:
I. Criminals gain entry to the premises through doors and windows that are left unlocked or within arm's reach of an open window.
II. Locked cars with visible valuables may be subject to break ins. Take valuables into the house and use the safe provided.
We strongly advise that all windows and doors are shut and locked when you leave the unit unoccupied. Please also ensure that doors and windows are closed and locked at ground level and all vulnerable areas. All of our accommodations have been fitted with an alarm system which is linked to armed response , kindly ensure that you understand how the system works and use it.
Often the property may be assessed by the door-to-door vendors/hawkers (particularly those selling kreef/crayfish) during the day. Please do not allow these people onto/into the property. If you do purchase crayfish, rather do it at the fish market where no one gets close to the property. Remember that purchasing and being in possession of crayfish outside season and without a licence is illegal and carries a severe fine.
These simple measures should go a long way to safeguarding your personal belongings and possessions. We really appreciate your co-operation in this matter and hope your stay is pleasant and enjoyable.
