Not sure why you would consider it "hypocrisy" ? In these troubled times, and yes, even in The (perfect) senior community, it is wise to let the police settle such issues rather than approach a neighbor you already know is not exactly an ideal senior citizen for "America's Friendliest home town" ? By now haven't most people realized the Villages security personnel are mostly our own neighbors, working part time to fill some retirement hours or pay for an upgrade improvement to their home, and have no authority (or desire to risk their lives) to get involved in anything more serious than calling someone to tell them they need to shut their garage door. No, not hypocrisy at all, but very good advice. In a community like ours, a few minutes to find the owner of the car blocking your drive, can mean the difference in life and death in a medical emergency, or, even if not that serious, it is a police matter... do not take a chance on handling such things yourself !
