Over a year or so ago there we some empty homes in the newer section of Sumter County that were broken in to. For the most part they were off golf courses or preserves. There was talk about someone on golf carts doing the deed, perhaps adult children of residents. Soon after that was published everything came to a screeching halt as far as I know. Haven't heard anything more. Even though we live up here in Gods Country, Marion County, and I haven't heard anything of that nature up here, I installed a solar motion sensor light in the back of the house mostly for our benefit and use.
