I have seen the teenagers from Lady Lake area hanging out at Spanish Springs and the Church on the Square at night. No one is causing any problems.
This is the most crime-free community I could imagine.

Everyone knows this is my hot button.
I agree with you completely. I think people bring their fears with them from their old place. Relatively speaking...this is a VERY safe place.
We have had one murder, before we came three years ago. Someones adult child was somehow mixed up with drugs and someone came and shot the mother of that child...am I correct on that one? We had a domestic abuse case last year where a woman shot through the bathroom door at her husband and wounded him badly.
We have had clubs and carts stolen. The cart stealing was done by a villagers son and he was caught.
We have had appliances stolen from homes not yet moved into. We have had reported instances of expensive jewelry being stolen out of a home when people were not present.
When taking our grandson to the hospital two years ago in the middle of the night we saw two women jogging down Morse at four in the morning.
I feel safe here, but you are gonna hear that others do not.
And you will then hear about carrying guns here in order to feel safe.
We are all different in how we percieve things.
