I have lightning rods on my house but they were there when I bought the house. If they hadn't been there, I would not have bought them - however, I do feel somewhat safer with them.

As for a home security system, it is up to each person's comfort level. I feel that having a home struck by lightning in The Villages is greater than a "home invasion" but there is a slight possibility of burglarly when you are gone from your home for a weekend or a longer trip.

I do remember on poster on TOTV who stated he feels so unsafe in his home in The Villages that he always answers his front door with a drawn pistol. Takes all kinds, doesn't it?
