  1. How can one be safe at The Ritz where the best rooms go for 3,000 per night and a cheeseburger and coke start around 35 dollars ???

    Next time someone goes missing tell the pilot to check the bar first .

    Unless its me … then send out the entire Cayman Military and 1000 person volunteer squad … I thank you in advance !!!

  2. Are the police going to investigate who made this ‘missing person’ call for possibly wasting public time and resources ?

    This all sounds like one big hoax to me.

    Did this person know he had been reported as missing and call the police to say he was safe ?

    Sounds like they found him at the Ritz Carlton bar so soused out of his gourd that he didn’t even know he was missing, much less that he had been found.

    What a joke !

  3. I think it’s important to recognise that there was a suitable reaction to what was reported as a very serious concern which Cayman should be proud of. The fact it turned out to be a false alarm should be treated as a sigh of relief!
