For those who don't play golf, this golf set retails for about 9K and the owner was nowhere in site and the kart was parked in the rear, away from pedestrian traffic. As far as I could tell, the set appeared authentic and not a cheap China copy. Additionally, the key was left in the ignition of the cart.
Just wondering why that some people when they move to The Villages, just completely forget about common sense and truly believe they live in a bubble and that dishonesty and crime don't occur inside the bubble. Or maybe I'm just very naïve and didn't realize that some people are super wealthy and just don't care. Either way, that golfer lost his mind.

I wonder where this cart was parked. I wonder if there was really a key in the ignition or that was added to make the story more compelling. I wonder if the clubs were locked in. I wonder why some people are less worried than others about things like this. Some people move here from areas that are more dangerous and have more crime and some people move here from safer suburban areas. That said, I think there are more people who steal now than there used to be, but I believe that most of the people who LIVE in The Villages would not steal those clubs or that cart.
I also know that The Villages has less crime by far than most areas in the U.S.
I still would not leave my clubs in a public place unattended. But they are far safer here than in most other places in this State or in this Country.
