Default Re: Property Safety

My personal take is that there is some crime here, but compared to most places it is minimal. There have been a series of breakins and people have lost jewelry and purses, but that seems to be the major crimes. They'll catch one guy doing it and a few months later someone else will start. All in all, I'd guess the crime rate here is much lower.

In reading the arrest reports in the paper, it does seem a lot of drug arrests in neighboring communities. For TV, it is DUIs and spousal abuse.

I feel pretty safe here. I frequently leave my front door open so the cats can enjoy the lanai and have had no problems as yet. I like to walk late in the evening by myself. Have felt no sense of danger. I frequently wander the Squares alone to enjoy the music and people watch. So, I'd rate TV is pretty safe barring some petty thefts.
