I know, you want to tell me he thought it was garbage; I myself would never ASSUME that something on the lawn was fair pickins. It was obvious that work was being done on the driveway as well as the garage floor. I consider this a trivial matter but i also know my home and person need to be protected at all times by being vigilent and locking doors. It's the only intelligent thing to do.

Great post. Those who think The Villages is completely secure because we have those gates in place that anyone can get through, are just not too smart. And we have some posters, probably affiliated with the developer, that will try to downplay any crime, because they are concerned it may negatively affect housing sales. I do think most people use common sense and realize there are burglaries that take place, and take adequate precautions. We all get lax and it doesn't hurt to be reminded every now and then to lock our front doors and keep the garage door down.
