But I can see that a lot of people are becoming very fearful about security in general. And I'm sorry about that. I continue to think our crime rate is very low in The Villages. And that our best defense is to continue to look out for our neighbors, and to look out for each other.

Seems to be a number of people who are becoming overly concerned about personal items being stolen in TV. Really? Relative to the rest of the world the numbers are very low.
Should we be deligent---of course. Stealing "something" and selling for drugs is a large part of crime across the country today.
A year or so ago my elderly Aunt was knocked to the pavement and her purse stolen at noon in the parking lot of her church in an upper-middle class neighborhood as parishioners were leaving Sunday services. DRUGS!
Crime can happen anywhere at anytime. TV is very safe---be deligent but let's not get paranoid.
