Just put your keys under your towel with your phone and wallet, and try to quit worrying about the crazy stuff you left behind when you retired to the Villages. You're safe! Take normal precautions, but you you are not surrounded by car thieves here -- just your neighbors.
Well said. Just toss the smart key in the bottom of your beach bag. What do you do with your phone, which is much more stealable? The Villages pools seldom have many people there unless there is a an aerobics class or a volleyball game. They don’t look like the photos below.
