This never crossed my mind until two years ago while teaching a Adult Education Class.

When I mentioned my retirement dreams of TV a young Man who used to work for builders in The Villages said " Mr, Forward. I like you Man , You better get your pistol permit and a large Dog and a security system. Welcome to Florida

I said why? Were in a patrolled gated comunity! He explained about the thiefs that stalk the wealth and easy pickings of TV residents.

How easy it is to break into a homes back Lani glass sliders. Peep into windows and see computers jewlery and other items laying out on shelves bedroom dressers etc. He said you just may get a visitor in daylight while your watching TV. And you never know who is wandering around in a uniform pretending to be a lawn guy or pest control person or other?

So all you wise ones! I have my Sinkhole coverage. My Wind and Hurricane Insurance, Total home Flood taken care of- So what are your respected thoughts to this? Are there Home systems that work? Any advise.

And please! No you worry to much Herv responses. I am looking as the Police do- Just the facts please no It's all wonderful hype. Crime is everywhere some places worse than others?

Hey neighbor! I think if there's a Psychologist that reads this forum he'll be sending you a Christmas card and want to see you at least twice a week for a while.
