He said he was just coming out to see if it would fit on his cart. I said, okay, but let's go back in and pay for it first. He complied and that was the end of that.
I have no doubt that he was attempting to score a free towel. So before any of you ask what would I have done if he had decided to drive off, he had just checked in for golf so I had his name; I would have given it to my manager for them to handle.
The moral of the story - there are people that LIVE IN THE VILLAGES that do steal.

You and I have debated this before.
OF COURSE there are unethical people here. They are everywhere. I say that this place has one of the lowest crime rates anywhere. I also say that golfers who have been playing for decades and paid a lot to play are probably not as apt to pocket something as some of the shady characters you have had in your radar in your old job of police officer.
Most of the folks in TV who are 65 plus got here without any trouble with the law in their lifetime. That's how we were raised.
NO not impossible to have things stolen. Not at all. But most of us are proud of our clean records.
