We got the same email from our VHA Rep and I totally believe it happened. We have had people experience theft in our Village while their garage is open. Someone actually picked up a new set of Callaway's who was cruising on garbage day while the person was waiting to be picked up in his driveway and went inside for a second to get something-one of the people jumped out of the truck, picked up the golf clubs and started driving away. They chased the truck and got them back. Someone else had the GPS stolen out of her car; someone else something else.... I think there are "cruisers" who go through villages looking for opportunity. Of course you need to lock your car, close your garage door, etc...but there is also "life"-you wash your car, go in the house to get a drink of water and then are going to come right back out-normal stuff where you are in and out of the house to do chores. Realistically you are not putting your garage door up and down all the time when you are working outside. People are people and we are not an exclusive community that is crime free.
