#5  The trucks themselves, the organisers and, of course, there is some suspicion that some police were in collusion with the movers of the sand."

Difficult to believe, that.

#4  Here I thought coral was mostly limestone.

Global climate changed by man and parrot fish build the beaches.

#3  Weirdly enough, most beach sand is parrot fish poop.

A very bizarre critter, the parrot fish eats an enormous amount of live coral, grinding it to fine sand with two sets of teeth, in the process and swallowing it. Don't ask about the mucus.

#1  If the Jamaicans think that their police are too inept to solve this mystery and bring the perps to justice, then they should hire a couple of homicide detectives from Aruba. They're good at pounding sand.
