Get real, it´s an island in the middle of nowhere with a population smaller than my hometown, one city of any size and nowhere to run. The visits I´ve made there make it obvious to me that this is definitly not weird.

Aha, FUD, you provide the alternate rationale for posting this: a criminal so stupid he robs under the impossible conditions you describe!

Still not buying it. It appears you only published because of a lack of knowledge on the subject. Keep trying though, you can only get better

Definitely weird Paul!
