Be concerned for people who look suspicious and report to the Police. Lock your doors and windows. Don't leave purse, wallet in open view. Be careful when you have vendors (they are strangers!) in your home. Never open doors to strangers. Why is it just because you are in The Villages are you more layed back with your safety?
Obviously we view statistics in a different way. Most vendors back off from my door when they see the two beasts through the full glass storm. I usually point at them and shake my head no - that does the trick. I have actually always felt safer because I have for a very long time had a large dog and The Villages just adds to that sense of security because in my neighborhood (Hadley) we watch out for each other. I prefer not to believe the bad guys are out to get me.
