We need to take care of ourselves and one another just as we would living anyplace else. We do not need to live in fear, but be aware that there are bad people and things that we are not insulated from. Need further proof? Look up the Florida Sex Offender Registry and see that some of these animals live in the Villages. Yes, I lock my doors.

JimT, thanks for the words of wisdom. Your comments are especially meaningful because of your experience in law enforcement. I know that I've been guilty of "Bubble Mentality" in the past. In future, I will heed your advice and be less complacent.
