is a no-no per vcdd rules.

so a neighbor let a stranger park his golf cart for sale on their back lawn(abuts Pinellas place). not allowed. gone now. in it's place is a bike for sale chained to a light post on their property. they don't know whose bike it is. I'll give it a day and with the homeowners permission I will cut the lock and bring it to the police station. I took the for sale sign off of the bike and hopefully the owner will get the hint.

there will be the name callers for upholding the rules and everyone knows the villages will do nothing unless a complaint is made. so to those folks who don't understand the life style we bought into for a reason....follow the rules, regs and ordinances you signed into...or just move on....I prefer a neighborhood where people have consideration for others and that we don't mind neat and clean.

Probably not on owner’s property.
Some how I just don’t see how this is right, cut and remove.

Why not just make a complaint. Seems like a better option rather than appointing oneself an enforcer.

Does anyone have any reading comprehension anymore? He said the neighbor didn't know whose bike it was chained to the lamp post on the property. He also said he'd get the neighbor's permission to handle it.

Sorry, but if there was a lamp post on my property and someone chained a bike to it with a for sale sign, it's mine now to do as I please with it.

I bought my cart from a Village resident. Don’t see the issue with trying to sell out front of the house. I would not have seen it if they don’t have it in the lawn. If there was 20 things out there to sell, I’d have issue. Not a cart or a bike though.

Or the owner has dementia and forgot he chained his bike to pole. If someone chained bike to my lamp pole I would put another lock on it and charge rent.:). Light post may not be the lamp post in front yard?

I agree with following the rules. However, the person likely tried to sell by posting on TOTV or NextDoor and got barraged by all kinds of ANUSES who waste your time just trying to get your personal information like we have and decided to try the alternative. Hazzard of the times, I guess.

I think lamp posts are on the right-of- way, not on our property, at least the one on my property is.

I also have street lamp in my yard. The only people who have a reason or right to cross my lawn to get to it are the folks who maintain or repair it. Sorry, it is not a place to display articles for sale, nor is it for posters or dog walkers to use as public dog potty. Keep off the neighbor's lawn unless you have been given permission to be there. Likewise, the lamp post belongs to the utility company. Locking something to it could hazardous or inhibit service or repair to the lamp post. It is not yours. Hands off.

Pls, don't get involved. The person whose house the bike is on should be the one to Call Community watch (352 753 0350)... that is what they are for. Be a good neighbor and give them this number. Also, any other questions that may come up for you call Community Standards (352 751 3912)

You need to get a Hobby, what harm is it doing. Do you really feel it is a Blight on the Community to have a Golf cart in a yard with a For Sale sign? I suppose you call in complaints if someone leaves their Holiday decorations up longer than the 2 weeks after rule.

Boy.....I just don't get it. Did that golf cart for sale sign really,really bother you? Why would anyone, except someone looking to buy, care about it. I think it might be a different issue going on here....like are you jealous of this person...is his house nicer than yours, does he play golf better than you?
Now this bike thing....I agree with the above, it's not his to sell...it just got chained to a post owned by TV. Maybe someone found it and thought that location might have good exposure. There could be 1000 reasons it was left their...and my guess, probably a funny story.
My opinion.....I'd leave it there a few days, then call cops.

Something you don't like on someone's lawn, you will, with 'homeowners permission' cut off the lock and take it to the police station.
What if they said NO?. Will you still do it? If you do, that's trespassing on private property AND theft of private property.
You must be one of the busy bodies who run around in golf carts looking for "violations" to report on your neighbors.

I respect your opinion. Your post makes me think you are a reasonable and thoughtful individual. Let me share a different thought with you so you may consider it.

Golf cart on grass with for sale sign. The golf cart and sign could be displayed at end of driveway. Parked on the grass it becomes the same as any other unwanted item (junk car, boat, trailer,etc). First step toward a junkyard, maybe? No yard signs. No yard art.?
The bike. Same as golf cart, plus it is, apparently not there with owners permission, and is chained to utility lamp post. Trespass on lawn, depositing and leaving item on lawn, denying home owner the ability to remove it, locked to pole = potential hazard to owner or utilities workers, posting sign on neighbor's property, depriving owner of free unrestricted access to his/her own property, deprives utility worker of free unrestricted access to utility.

A different point of view.

What I find funny is the conversation at the police station. "I just cut a lock and chain that wasn't mine, on a property that I don't own, to steal bicycle to turn in to the police" for a "crime" that wasn't a crime...:shocked:

Story about the bike sounds fishy. If the bike has a for sale sign on it, there must be a phone number to call to find out who owns it. I would think the owner is likely the same person who lives there. If someone chained their bicycle to the street light on my lot I would be curious enough to find out who the owner is and tell them to remove it.

Cutting the lock - criminal mischief - B misdemeanor
Stealing the bike- petit larceny - B misdemeanor
Entering the property to commit the crimes- Criminal trespass- misdemeanor
Bike for sale against rules— minor infraction of development rules..
you’ve already shown your intent to commit those misdemeanor crimes by posting your intentions here.
Maybe you could talk with your neighbor about it first..

Don't take the beauty here in TV for granted! It may sound snobby but there is a reason why we pay more to live here than a sane person would pay.
Since we pay more, it would be nice if there was more police or community service to act decisively to remedy these problems like chained up bicycles with for sale signs on them. Why would it be the responsibility of a neighbor / resident to cut the chains of a nuisance? I have seen for sale signs on golf carts at swimming pools or parked in a Publix parking space. Those would be more appropriate places to try to sell a golf cart.
......The Villages likes to sell the quality of the Village image, but they want to "cheap out" on the cost of PROVIDING that quality image. Plus we could all use a BETTER newspaper.

and the fact that you actually don't know makes the post irrelevant.

Without responding to every one of your excuses, I will only say, WOW!

is a no-no per vcdd rules.

so a neighbor let a stranger park his golf cart for sale on their back lawn(abuts Pinellas place). not allowed. gone now. in it's place is a bike for sale chained to a light post on their property. they don't know whose bike it is. I'll give it a day and with the homeowners permission I will cut the lock and bring it to the police station. I took the for sale sign off of the bike and hopefully the owner will get the hint.

there will be the name callers for upholding the rules and everyone knows the villages will do nothing unless a complaint is made. so to those folks who don't understand the life style we bought into for a reason....follow the rules, regs and ordinances you signed into...or just move on....I prefer a neighborhood where people have consideration for others and that we don't mind neat and clean.

It's my bike and leave it alone. :police:

Not sure why that bothers you so much. I believe if it is on their property they can put a for sale sign on it. Glad you are not my neighbor!

It sounds to me like someone was trying to sell a bike displaying it on someone else’s property. On my property, either here or up north, that bike would have been gone, period.

I have seen for sale signs on golf carts at swimming pools or parked in a Publix parking space. Those would be more appropriate places to try to sell a golf cart.

They probably just leave the "For Sale" sign on their cart wherever they drive.

Just like many car owners do when selling a vehicle...

I've seen several golf carts in yards for sale. Nothing wrong with it...

Respectfully disagree. Looks trashy. What's next, old washer and dryer, old refrigerator for the kids to play in, old car parts, old exercise equipment? Really, who wants to live next door to a used cart lot or a junk yard?

Making up "what ifs' that don't happen does not help your argument...

Did not look like a large bike. Asking price on the sign was $3,100.00
I thought you said bike, not motorcycle.

Motorcycles are just as vulnerable as bicycles. Not a good idea to leave it on someone else’s property without their permission.

The land the light poles are on technically belongs to the county. Look on the Sumter County Tax Appraiser's website and you will see all the lot lines.

So which rules are ok to break here? Also who are the special people here that don’t have to follow the rules?

I can guarantee some are breaking all of them.

haha. Someone would be in for a very rude awakening coming to my door asking to take care of something on my property. Unless you have a badge, it simply isn't your responsibility to do a thing other than report it.
