Nah.
Redchariot, don't be so alarmed. Home prices have skyrocketed here and if you find that you're uncomfortable with the safety level, moving vans are always available. Lest you think I'm telling you to go home, I am not. I hope you enjoy everyday in The Villages and do not have too much angst about crime levels within our community.
Some of these reports are unverified and there are other ghastly things, supposedly, that occurred but apparently aren't serious enough for the observers to have the situation checked out. It's hard to lend credence to those reports given the lack of action taken by the observers. Are there drugs in The Villages? I'm sure there are, we even had discussions on this forum whereby potheads felt marijuana should be legalized and some indicated they were enjoying it now. There are drugs problems everywhere, no hiding from that.
I think one would have to lock oneself in a room 24/7 to avoid the world happenings. You could run to a gated community but those may be the most vulnerable as they think nothing can happen within their walls and may be unprepared, access can be gained at any time. Smell the flowers and enjoy the day. If crime reports increase and you do not feel comfortable in The Villages, that is the time to consider your next move. Please don't waste your precious life hours worrying about things that most likely will never happen.
