The island with 20 homicides and 500 armed robberies per year? The island where politicians are gunned down on public beaches?

At least in Curacao most of the crime isnt against tourist. The bigger population gives them to opportunity to commit crimes among each other. :wink:

If you follow the Bonaire Police reports at all you will see that the more significant crime on the island of Bonaire is also among locals, but that there is also far, far less of it than on the the bigger islands. There are just a lot fewer people.

What Bonaire has had aimed at its tourists, for years, is predominately the pesky truck break-ins, with only an occasional actual home/rental burglary.

Most of Bonaire's Police blotter involves theft and problems among the local population, just as elsewhere.
