rxmurphy Posted June 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Her husband sounds like a real sweetheart. FTA "Lopez is being held at a Broward County jail on unrelated assault and burglary charges."

Arizona Cruz Chic Posted June 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2010 WOW! Words escape me on this one. Glad she was caught. The other day I saw a car with a magnetic sign that read...."Vacation Home Watch Service" I thought to myself, who in their right mind would want to use this company.....all someone has to do is follow the car and....... bingo! :eek: *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunandseagirl617 Posted June 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2010 :eek: Yikes! We always have a house sitter/animal sitter while we cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted June 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2010 She wasn't only planning on helping people book that perfect cruise vacation but also how to make their cruise memories a living nightmare. One they would never forget. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixDawgCruising Posted June 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wow. Can't say I'm shocked, but it really stinks to read it. I have a home alarm system, but I'm guessing that cutting a hole in the glass wouldn't set off the alarm, why would it? That's just awful.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerif Posted June 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We have an alarm system but also a pet sitter who comes by every day - oh, and a busy-body next door neighbor as well . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernew2cruising Posted June 11, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Unbelievable! I wonder if RCI has any liability in the buglaries? Never in my wildest dreams would I think of something like this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxmurphy Posted June 11, 2010 #12 Share Posted June 11, 2010 There are people who read the obituaries daily for this purpose too. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted June 11, 2010 #13 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Unbelievable! I wonder if RCI has any liability in the buglaries? Never in my wildest dreams would I think of something like this happening. Other than an overwhelming sense of embarassment, I doubt it. BTW, "information theft" by employees is not at all uncommon. We hear at least one story like this a month up here in Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanaimobound Posted June 11, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 11, 2010 So many people have access to our personal information like that! Everything we do, people require that basic information. It is too bad for the company to have to deal with this, since there is no way I can think of if people have no prior criminal record to know if someone will misuse / abuse their access to private information. Short of psychological testing!:eek: i wonder if they require fingerprinting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegirlum Posted June 11, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Unbelievable! I wonder if RCI has any liability in the buglaries? Never in my wildest dreams would I think of something like this happening. Unless they knew she was taking that information and didn't stop her, no. I'm guessing the employee handbook clearly states that employees are not to take customer data for their own use. Common sense would dictate that you wouldn't have to actually put that in writing, but clearly common sense doesn't always prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted June 11, 2010 #17 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wow! I am so glad I have an alarm system, a pet sitter that comes every day I am gone, good relationships with the neighbors, and parents who also check in while we are gone. Oh, and someone comes buy once a week to mow the lawn. My house will never appear to have its occupants on vacation. I guess this is why you have homeowners insurance!

Cruising89143 Posted June 11, 2010 #18 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Other than an overwhelming sense of embarassment, I doubt it. BTW, "information theft" by employees is not at all uncommon. We hear at least one story like this a month up here in Orlando. I had an Aunt who had her identity stolen by a cruise line employee back in the mid 90's down in Miami. She worked in the office of the cruise line and had access to all of her information. Back then you gave you SS# when filling out cruise information. She was eventually caught. Made a mess of things for my Aunt for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted June 11, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 11, 2010 There are people who read the obituaries daily for this purpose too. Sad. And wedding announcements. My sister's house was burglarized during her wedding in 1972. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted June 11, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wow. I wonder if RCI runs background checks on employees who are privy to such sensitive information?

CruiseKeeper Posted June 11, 2010 #25 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I don't know why everyone is surprised. These boards are full of roll calls indicating exactly when and how long we will be away from our homes. If you are foolish enough to give personal identifying information about yourselves you are asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
