This is very interesting since there was a post not too far back about owning a gun. I don't want to turn this in a gun thread, but TV doesn't have a wall.

I consider TV to be a "Soft" target. By that I mean:

1. Age. Not everyone is in their 20s.
2. Everyone trusts everyone else. We're one big happy family (check the number of golf clubs on carts and open garage doors)
3. Most don't own a gun or think they need one.
4. TV is open to the public. Anyone can drive through. All they need is a truck with a contractor's name on the side.
5. Look at Wall Street. The haves and have nots. Which do you look like to someone on the outside of TV? Nice house, nice car, golf cart etc.

I could go on, but you get the point. Just because it's retirement community doesn't mean it's safe from all crime. I just saw a thread about someone steeling down spouts during the day in TV. Metal sales are way up.
