I would expect to see more of this here in the Villages. If I were a crook this would be an area I'd work.
Question is, will the community sit back and do nothing and wait till things get really bad, before they do anything about it? Or will they act quickly to make it a not so friendly place for criminals?
...and yet The Villages remains virtually crime-free for a community of around 100,000 people. What do you attribute that fact to?

What would YOU suggest for the community to do to act quickly to make The Villages a not so friendly place for criminals?
