1. I think we should feel blessed that with over 80,000 residents we only have a couple of break ins, etc. We live in a community where a woman can take a walk at midnight and feel safe. Of course with over 80,000 people you can expect a couple of bad things and in these cases none were personal attacks on someone nor house breakins.. We are truly lucky.
2. Regarding what really happened at the restaurant. I was there early on
Monday morning and the Owner's were just looking around. THe window was broken where they entered and the Owner's were waiting for someone to put some plyboard up. They said the "burglar's" got the money from the cash register and from the safe. They were still looking to see if anything else was taken. They said it would be a few days before they could reopen. The police were looking at potential camera's at other stores, (e.g. Publix's , etc).
I am not naive and believe it would be a huge overstatement that these types of violation's in anyway reflect on the safety and peaceful living in The Villages.
