No, they are very rare. And I’m speaking as someone whose brand new $3500 e-bike was stolen from his garage. A lot of the courtyard villa neighborhoods here and many others as well are hard to find and limited access. In many cases one police car could seal the area. That’s not a favorite situation for burglars. If they are in cars, they tend to want to have a quick escape route. In these restricted areas, guys in black hoodies and masks stick out even more than they do elsewhere in The Villages. That said, some of these areas get so little traffic that no one would see them. So, a camera system may be useful in that sort of situation. Still, is your house likely to be burgled when it is locked? No! If your jewelry is missing, it’s more likely to have been misplaced. Security systems here are mostly a play on senior fear.
