I beleive I personally know of these guys as I was burgled exact same way 5 years ago and they are still at it same M O the problem is if they only get caught with stolen goods they cannot be tried for burglary unless they confess to it and the pubishment for handling stolen goods is about $200 bze

Even when caught red handed in my house and then identified in court by 3 different people as the one caught red handed in the house the court waited until the one day we could not attend and then let him off with a fine of $300 bze (we had to go to Belize 3 times for ajournment and then 2 times for trial and then one for sentencing and had to pay for all the witness;s to fly there.

You could imagine the one time I could not go as I had to go out country he got away with it I was PISSED and gave up on the legal system here

If you cant even get a conviction with 3 eyewitness's who point him out in court and say they cught him actually in the house and detained him and handed him over to police then its a lost cause.

You will never clean the island up unless the courts get tough and stop excusing them because they think they stole only from rich gringos
