I want to thank you for sharing this story. A lot of people have a false sense of security here in The Villages.

The Neighborhood Watch guys can drive around but they are not authorized to report anything except to their supervisor.

I know that for a fact because my hubby used to be NW for over one year about 4 years ago. He was told that he MUST put at least 50 miles on the truck within his 6 hr shift or be in TROUBLE!! So he used to just drive around, wasting time, trying to put miles on the truck and waste gas.

Many times, he reported suspicious vehicles but was told that wasn't his job, even though he copied down the license and turned it in.

So, I am not surprised that The Villages now has Meth Labs, etc. here. If you buy a property, you can rent to anyone, age unimportant, or background check I GUESS!

SCARY STUFF!!
