I'm being silly, and of course leaving garage doors open isn't wise. But don't let one little story become more than it is.
I have to agree with Bare.

That is not questioning the OP's character, she is a very dependable person. It just is from time to time emails circulate that repeat OLD information.

There WAS reported here last year an incident that involved a golf cart taken from someone's garage in early dawn. The owner had opened the door to get the paper from the driveway and forgot to close it. The cart had it's keys and it disappeared. It was found somewhere close on campus with everything still intact very quickly, as I recall. Pooh told us about this as it was near her in Mallory. I suspected visiting um...kids and got really beat on for that.

I am very careful of my clubs and have a locking device on them that can be purchased at any of the country club stores around town. When we lunch we try to park in back of the country clubs.

With all of the expensive golf clubs in peoples carts parked outside restaurants you would think there would be more thefts. You do hear of clubs falling off golf carts and being found and returned. There was some thefts about three years ago of golf carts. The son of a villager was arrested for those. We also had a meth lab discovered in the attic of a garage in TV. A widowed woman had been befriended by a young couple and she had allowed them to move in with her. Their pictures were in the paper. Very bad looking folks.

I did NOT mean to diminish the OP. The OP is a responsible poster and a very valid and dependable and helpful person.. Emails and rumors are part and parcel of life here and many of us try very hard to keep things straight.

Sigh. Please...don't send me nasty PM's. I don't work for the developer.

We will hear more about this with more details from others I am sure and we can decide to worry or not to worry.

Springfield, What is an HOA person? We have a VHA rep in our village. I hope I didn't diminish your attempt to protect us.
