All gone. Other posters reported a similar pattern on the T&C board. If these boards are meant to give a true picture of a destination, leaving out crime reports seems to leave a gaping hole. This points to a very cozy relationship to the destinations, hotels, etc. at the expense of truth.
A recurring problem on the TA Anguilla board. It appears that somebody from the tourism board reports any post even remotely critical of or unflattering to the island and the posts automatically get deleted. People complain, then the entire thread is 86'd.
