        You sound so arrogant, everything is island people !!! Only Island people can do those nonsense..... when really of a fact these youngsters don’t want to work and just want fast money.....both the expatriate and the islanders. It’s obvious the person probably searching for cash!

    Am sure Gutless Gus & Maverick Mick have it covered.

    In between taking selfies with each other in paradise they might spare a second or two to attend to such security matters.....

    In addition governor office may attend to it in between pub quizzes, drinking alcohol and self promotion of books they right on our dime....

    Sooner government investigate them all the better...
