I know longer put my garbage out at night we put it out during the day of the trash pick up. It's really pathetic that this is happening in The Villages and community watch things it's all OK.
I am sorry that you think it is pathetic that the community watch thinks it is okay for someone to pick up another's person trash that is being disposed already. I am not sure what you want the community watch to do? They already patrol every street in the villages, check pools, assist residents, check rec centers to make sure everything is okay, attempt to locate all the reckless drivers who damage their gates EVERYDAY. This list is only a few things they do. If you didn't have a community watch who would you call? It is not a crime to remove debris/trash from the street once it is on the curb. If you concerned for identity thief-then shred all your documents as several people have posted. If you see someone suspicious in the neighborhood-attempt to safely obtain description and call the police.
