Almost all of the youths are great kids but like anywhere, there are some troublemakers who will do vandalism - such as at the restrooms, minor golfcart vandalism, or serious stuff like breaking car windows.

The "really safe community" is really safe. You do not have muggings on the streets nor is there violent crime such as armed robbery, murder, or rape. There is not home invasion nor shootouts. Yes, it is a really safe community.

Still, we have a percentage of our residents who carry a concealed pistol when walking in The Villages or even sleep with a loaded pistol on the night table next to their bed. I know of one person who answers their door with a pistol ready to be drawn from a holster. I would hate to be that paranoid or scared of life no matter where I lived!!

Boy we could start a whole different post with this one!!!
