Also, just like like when we were kids, we could even leave our doors open at home and never had a problem. About six or seven years ago this started to change. I believe thieves began to see TV as a ripe environment of old people and an easy target. Just like every where else, when population grows, and in this case unchecked, so do crime statistics. When I first came to TV I believe it was “Florida’s Friendliest Home Town” not any more.

Being as open and accessible as the no security Villages are is an open invitation to the less than honest people that are everywhere. Add hard times and people out of work from Covid and even some who are more or less honest people will get desperate and resort to dishonesty, so beware and be safe and protect yourself and your belongings. The first line of defense is always in your hands.
