When my wife got to her golf cart there was another man looking very dirty and very much like the first man parked in front of her. She took off and stop to call the police. Suddenly they pulled up beside her and demanded to know who she was calling. She said that she was just calling her husband and they took off.

She is now terrified. She was afraid to drive home because she thought that they might follow her so she went into Publix and told the manager. The manager explained that they had no control or responsibility over what goes on in the parking lot. She stayed at Publix for a while and finally drove home.

She is now terrified and concerned that they are going to came and break into our house. She is young and from another country so she was afraid to call the police.

Just be aware of these guys. there have been a few shady characters in this area lately.

I sincerely hate that your wife was frightened. I also want you to know that I appreciate the heads-up about the men. It isn't any of my business, but since you put it out there, why would she be afraid to call the police? Please, help her understand to never hesitate to call the police or seek out a police officer if she needs help for anything. Teach her about 911 and to not be afraid of the police.
