I dont have a watchman, I live in the city of pop in a house. I had friends who had a "Dominican Watchman". They lived in Casa Loma in Puerto Plata, a huge house with a big property.
The first watchman they had from this company, has his friends come in on the second floor, kitchen (separated from the main buiding ) and car and they stole alot. The watchman of course had not seen anything. He got cought by tracking phonecalls he had made, and ended up in jail.
The new one they got in replacement, was an old man, he slept all the time.
And he came without uniform, without being introduced by the company supervisor who is supposed to come with the watchmen... They did not accept him until the supervisor came of course..
The third they got, and by this point they got suspicious, and stayed up for 2 nights by sharing the hours. He went away went away, and came back around 5 am. and finished up his hours by 6 as per the agreement.
They finally hired a person by recommendation, and paid 200 RDS per night of 12 hours.
I dont know if this is common or not, according the company sending those "watchmen" out "they were sorry for the trouble but could not give any discount on the monthly cost". Of course they got no money, but that was their answer..
I hope this is not a common thing, it would be awful.
