Of course, I called her on it). With that said, the Villages is one of the safest communities anywhere in the country. However, as the Villages grows and becomes more prominent as a Florida population center, the frequency of crime will increase. As residents, we need to maintain the same level of vigilance and common sense that we had before we moved to the Villages. We can not prevent someone from kicking a door in, but we can lock our houses and cars and call law enforcement when something looks suspicious.
Good post. Yes we have become a large community and since we are not a secure gated community, anyone can easily get in. It pays to be careful. I'm sure The Villages looks like a bunch of rich people to outsiders, and tempting to thieves.
