  1. One of the last places in the Caribbean you would want to get caught in criminal activity.

    They do not tolerate or condone criminals in that little gem of the Caribbean.

    Love that place to bits.. you can leave your car wide open and come back and find it the same way you left it.

    There is a saying on Montserrat, and it’s that you cannot loose or lost a cell phone in Montserrat.

    Such is the tranquility of the locals.

    Crime of passion happens anywhere..those are personal crimes, but you’re not just gonna get robbed in broad daylight in that place. So yea, I’ll Seattle for that any day.
