It is my opinion (my opinion) that any notion that The Villages, or anywhere else, is too safe for an alarm system is not accurate.
There have been break-ins in The Villages. Not many, but there have been burglaries. I'll wager that the number ranks in the dozens, rather than "few." We, and several of our friends, have alarms that were installed professionally by ADT. They do not necessarily require monitoring, but the installation price is higher then.
Since The Villages is not a gated community, and it is easily accessible by anybody from the surrounding area, I would not be lulled into thinking that we are protected by an invisible shield. Don't think that outsiders are not aware that residents are thought to be "well healed." Many, in fact, are.
