The Villages Daily Sun chose not to run it. It seems they call the Sheriffs office daily and pick and choose what they want to put into print. It appears they choose to hide crimes they don't want out which might ruin their "reputation".

FYI, it appears it's not that uncommon. According to a deputy I spoke with this morning, groups of men come up here more often than you know and do this.

We don't hear about it because the paper doesn't report it!

I see this is your first post. Can you please tell us exactly what happened, where, when?

I know of some ladies whose car windows were broken and valuables taken. Car was parked near polo field. This was a few months ago. A checkbook was in a purse stolen and checks forged.

They reported it, of course, but it was never in the paper.
