Spent 3 months in Aruba jan- march 2009, and no question car thefts have increased big time. In complex i stayed at 3 car breakins in 2 week period. what is more troubling is break ins to apt!! in same complex in early march there was an att break in to my apt and a canadian couple had a breakin to there 2nd floor apt at night while they where sleepin!! and property stolen!! I wrote a letter to chief of police and prime minister( SOMETHING I SUGGEST U ALL DO IF U LIKE ARUBA AND PLAN ON VISITING AGAIN) because this problem will only get worst if not agressively dealt with. Aruba MUST realize tourism is major part of their economy and they must do more to deal with this problem!! my email is
