While The Villages is a low-crime area, it is not a no-crime area. Having recently discovered that a neighbor's visiting adult son has been prowling the area in the wee hours of the morning, I am reminded that security is always an issue even here in 'The Bubble'. The sheriff's office is aware and has spoken with him, warned him to stop, and I do feel very confident they will handle it right if a crime is reported in this area.
But we need to remember that we aren't just dealing our friendly neighbors, but their families and other visitors who come here occasionally. I'm not paranoid, or quaking in my boots over this, but I am newly conscious that reasonable security measures are necessary for all of us.
