This would be the third gate in a week that I have watched fall down all by itself. Wonder if they count those 10 gate crashes are in the numbers he spoke of. When in reality it could be the bolts just giving away, or poorly installed bolts. So yes gate crashed, but no vehicle involved.

The camera will pick up car plate, but carts have no I’d, so once a year TV posts the pics and ask for help to Id carts. Last post fee was $250. But that been awhile
Is it possible this Repair system is set up to be a moneymaker for The Villages? Some people seem to think $250 repair is way in excess of actual cost to replace gate.
$250 X 10… Hmmm
