"When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." S. Holmes

You have a person visiting The Villages "Florida's Friendliest HomeTown". This visitor observing the beauty and originality of The Villages and the activity and energy found at the Town Square. This visitor/car owner returns to where the car was parked and finds deep seated scratches all along said car.

The police are called and inform the car owner that a report is taken but nothing can be done. When asked if other cars were damaged (keyed) receives no response.

A predictable feeling of anger comes over the car owner and is immediately followed by a feeling of helplessness because the perpetrator(s) walks away from all of this free to strike again.

This sort of scenario has been reported repeatedly on TOTV and I fact on this thread.

It is apparent given the ever increasing size of The Villages and the fact that The Villages experiences a continuing influx of people from all over the world that in fact the subject of "safe seems relative.

Perhaps it is time that The Villages leadership considers installing camera's throughout The Villages and steps up patrolling by the local police both at the public squares and throughout neighborhoods
