Last sunday we spent around 6 hours at Sumter Landing. When we got back to our car which was parked in a rather remote spot near the Waterfront hotel, our emergency flashers were going off. I tried to start the car but the battery was dead. I had just put a new battery in the day before. Apparently someone tried to break in to the car, or shook it to activate the alarm.

My in-laws have had their car vandalized at Sumter Landing in the past. As I have written in the past, I still believe we need a lot more police presence at this square. The parking situation is crazy, with cars parking in any nook or cranny available. Pedestrians have been hit by distracted drivers. Oblivious speeders need to be slowed down by speed bumps.

As a Sumter county taxpayer, I feel public safety is being compromised and totally ignored at the square.
