I've often wondered if the statements by the time share agencies are all that real. After all, transferring people from ocean front property to another inland is a way of opening up ocean front property to be rented again, isn't it?
I'm not saying that's the case, but let's face it, this could work to the advantage of the rental company, and if they are really "concerned for their renters" it would make sense that they would add alarm systems that would reduce the incident rate dramatically instead of doing something that smacks of being "bait and switch."
If I was in a time share, and they did that to me, I'd demand that they offer the proper protection, not move me to a less valuable property. If I wanted inland property I would have opted for it in the first place, at a much reduced price.
