Whaaaaaaat? There are thieves in The Villages?

That is a good idea you have, VT. I'm going to get a transfer switch installed and I will concrete an anchor bolt in to secure my generator. It's a 5500 watt Generac that we bought in 2002 in Lafayette, LA when we had a hurricane threat there. It has moved with us from there to St. Louis to Kansas City to here; I fire it up every 2 weeks and put a load on it just to keep it ready.
