Won't they just open another account using false details?  :dunno:

I have to say that I felt very safe walking through the back streets of New York at midnight.  Not a hint of trouble.   :dunno:

Times Square which is at the centre of New York City to 12th Avenue which is where the cruise terminal is situated.  Once you get past 9th Avenue it gets quite dark and lonesome because there is nothing there but apartment blocks.  I expected to see lots of druggies but it was as clean as a whistle.  When I was in NYC back in 1968 I got mugged!   :laugh:
