So, we do need to be alert and aware for ourselves and our neighbors.

I agree with this comment. We have seen a lot of police covering the Pinellas St area lately. They just can't be everywhere and see everything. We need to be on the look-out too. In talking with one of the Sherrif's Deputies at the scene of yesterday's break-in, he told us that there are currently 9 officers "in training" within the Sheriffs Dept.
They will be added to the force soon to help keep us safe. His other comment was, "ya'll are growing so fast here in The Villages that we can't keep up with all the new areas." They are really trying to keep us safe and I think we need to give them some credit.
