Default Happened to Me ... Not Urban Legend

A couple of weeks ago I had a young woman holding a roll of paper towels at my front door in Village of Bonita (not too far from Duval). She wanted to clean something but I cut her off, said no thank you and she got in a vehicle (mini-van?) that had several other people in it.

I thought about calling Community Watch because of the no solicitors policy of The Villages, but I didn't. Wish I had. I have called CW in the past about solicitors and they do come out and talk with them and advise they cannot go door to door. So this is a good service that CW provides, even if they don't jump your dead battery (see other post).

The Villages is a lovely community that has less crime than most areas, but if you think you're perfectly safe here and nothing can happen to you in "the bubble", you could be in for a bad surprise.
