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.

Thanks for the heads-up, but if you're expecting any sort of action or resolution, this is not the place to get it.
Your alarm system should NOT deplete your battery. They only go off for about a minute and then shutdown. You didn't say if you had any damage or anything stolen. Perhaps you still have a problem with your car or battery...
If you truly feel threatened; as a taxpayer, you should contact the county sheriff with your concerns and suggestions.
