I don't understand why some want to avoid setting or try to set boundries but so be it. I agree, close the thread and go back to accepting what ever comes.
I read the police blotter every Monday. Better than 95% of the reported crimes are from residents of Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Oxford, Weirsdale, etc. A VERY small minority are identified as Village residents. With all due respect, I suggest you might read the blotter a little more carefully. Out of all the reported incidents in yesterday's police blotter, there were probably only two or three (don't remember exactly) who were Village residents, one was for petit theft and one was for DUI.

I am not suggesting there is no crime in the area, there certainly is, but I think you might be overstating the amount of crime committed by Village residents. If I am wrong, please let me know where you get this info about all this crime being perpetuated by TV residents.
