Default Maybe Limit those Happy Hours

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?
Maybe the solution is to limit those “happy hours” to an actual Hour instead of half the day. Just thinking outside the box.
