"Dear Subscriber,

The Villages enjoys the reputation of being a very safe community to live in. On occasions, however, people find themselves in awkward positions and call Community Watch to report the incident and to ask how they may have avoided or handled the situation differently, if it occurs again.

A Village resident recently called Community Watch to advise of a vehicle that had pulled up behind their vehicle at a postal station believing it was blocking their ability to back out of the parking spot.

Community Watch followed up with the resident to investigate the incident in detail and communicated with law enforcement.

Please remember it is always best to immediately report any incident to the 911 center if you find it disturbing or if you feel threatened in any way.

In addition, there have been rumors of attempted ATM thefts or robberies and after checking with all law enforcement agencies providing service within The Villages area, we have been advised there has been no report of any activities of this nature."
