Default Gate Crashes

I played golf last week, with someone who works for Community Watch. He told me that we average 10 "gate crashes" per day.

I went to a dog park today. Of the 3 gates I went through (or around), 2 were under repair. There's a gate in front of the Mallory Club House, that seems to get broken at least 3 times/week.

I assume the "crashers" get billed? I assume their insurance pays? Are there really 10 per day? How much does the crasher get charged? How much does an average repair really cost?

I assume this has been going on since The Villages began? Maybe it's time for a different solution?

Perhaps equipping the Guard Shack attendants with Paint Ball guns?
