Does anyone know anything about the crime rate in Aruba? Do we need to worry about pick pockets or being mugged? I would kind of like to know what we need to expect before we get there.
I found out that the crime rate is relatively low, but one must be careful not to leave valuables on the beach or other places unattended. Rental vehicles are often targets for car theft. They like to drive them around and strip them. Evidently the local insurance does not cover all damages to the rental cars so BEWARE!
