When the cops arrived we went into the backyard and sure enough the gate was wide open and we never leave it open. The cops looked around with their flashlights and asked a few questions then proceeded to tell us there is a peeping Tom in the area.

I can't begin to tell you what a creepy feeling this is to know someone has been peeping in at me and wonder how long this has been going on. Every blind in this house is now closed and will remain that way until we leave this house in September headed to TV. I will never feel safe here again.

I want to clarify this did not happen in The Villages but this could happen anywhere. Ladies please be careful and never let your guard down like I did.

BIG mistake....you should have left the room quietly and called 911
By alerting the perp, you enabled him to get away before the cops
arrived. Too bad!
