Strangers aren't going into their back yard. The homeowners are just overly paranoid, think that THEIR house is more worth bad people coming to trespass than their neighbors' houses (who obviously aren't obsessed with that kind of fear since they're fine with their short fences and shrubs). They're fixing a problem that doesn't exist, and are upset because the CDD won't pay for it.

This is a community of old people. At some point, someone will die on YOUR block. Are you going to then complain that it's not a safe neighborhood because there's already been a death on your own block? That's what's happening with the people in Caroline. They're just spinning things to justify their obsession. There might have been 3 deaths on a secondary road, which stretches a couple of miles long, that is /not/ in The Villages. I don't know if that's true or not. It's certainly possible. But where that homeowner lives, there is no entrance to her neighborhood from that secondary road. And if she just stopped drawing SO MUCH ATTENTION to her property by barricading it with high dark blockade walls and "K-9 Protection" signs all over the walls, maybe people would stop wondering what she's hiding behind those walls that she needs to make such a huge fuss about it.

THAT is what will attract the burglars. She's putting a target on her back yard, and then whining about being worried about being robbed.

@margaretmattson.....this scenario, coupled with my post....is a perfect example of what MY interpretation is of a Karen and/or Darren. It’s ambiguous and open to many other uses....this is mine
