We noticed the same thing with regard to the huge amounts of "help" and not to be mean or politically incorrect, but most looked like they did not have documentation........who knows if background checks are done on them.
How can you tell by looks?
Many probably are just trying to earn their wages Right!, but others could be jealous as to what they perceive as the lifestyle of the rich and whatever....living the life they only dream about. It could be tempting and again, those homes are so easy to break into. Not all "those homes" are easy to break into.
Up here at least we know our pool guys and our landscapers; we all know their families; we've seen them grow up from babyhood........it's a lot different in Florida. Does this mean there are no places in Florida where this exists?
Ditto for other workmen. We know our carpenters and plumbers and their families for 40 plus years. People all go to church together and their kids all go to school together.

It's a trifle different with these migrant workers....or transients as you called them. You do realize that these people are working all over the US?
Coming from afar, the place looks a lot different than the picture of safety imagined.........meaning it would not be that difficult to harm an elder if someone wanted to. This could happen,even up there, where ever that is.
If true that the "crime scene" was a self inflicted wound, it's good news and bad news (for the loved ones).

TV may be a friendly enclave of villages, but it still NOT a small town where everyone knows each other.

That said, we did notice a lot of those "neighborhood watch cars" out and about.........but I never saw them at dusk or dawn when someone could be lurking around.....hoodie or not. FYI they patrol 24 hours a day.
Someone who worked for a landscaper...... or pool person.....they just walked right into our lanai to put chemicals in. If someone had their sliders open, anything could happen. Ditto for the guys who power wash the screens on the lanai and birdcage........on the inside, as well as the outside. They could gain easy entry..........as could the landscapers.....who were all around the golf course adjoining the property, as well as the owner's crew. I don't see how this is any different than anywhere else in the US Very early in the a.m. I might add. Plus, the newspaper guy came very early at or before dawn. How is this so unusual?Anyway, glad the story had a conclusion that was NOT "harm done by a stranger."

A good example of racial profiling.
