Robbery

[PennBF]

I am surprised, unless I missed it, not reading about the robbery of the
restaurant in Southern Trace. I believe the name is/was Adolfo's?? As I
understand it on Sunday night or Monday morning someone broke the window
on the side with a brick, stole the money from the cash register and safe.
Not sure what else they got. But it will be a few days before they reopen.
Was this in the newspaper or on TOTV and I missed it.:ho:

Where did you hear it?

[PennBF]

I did not hear it. Stopped in on Monday Morning and the Owner's were there and said they were closed for a few days because of the robbery. THey showed us the broken window. Said they were robbed the night before and not sure when they broke in? Said they got all the money left in the cash register and safe..Not sure what they got beyond that. :(

Sounds like a burglary not a robbery.

[Figmo Bohica]

Sounds like a burglary not a robbery.

You are correct.

[duffysmom]

It was Gandolfo's in Southern Trace Shopping Center. The ladies at Crispers were talking about it. They said detectives were asking if they had heard or seen anything and they did not. It appears that it happened in the early hours of Monday morning. They are checking out the surveilance cameras in the parking lot.

People get robbed, buidlings get burglarized

[PennBF]

I am not really invested in the usage of terms, (e.g. Robbery/Burglary). As a
Professor once said, if you understand the concept that is what is important
and I think all understood the concept that was being described.
OK it was burglarized..I hope that closes the concerns over that issue..:MOJE_whot:

[redwitch]

If they broke into the safe, sounds like an inside job. Hope not too much was lost. Gandolfo's is a pretty busy restaurant.

[paulandjean]

I agree but maybe it was the starting bank for the next day.

Hate that there was a burglary, but equally concerned that it might not have been covered in The Daily Sun. Did I just miss it?

It is not a Robbery, it is a commercial burglary. A robbery is when an individual uses some type of force and puts a victim in fear to steal an item of value.

[The Shadow]

Its their money.
Not now.

Be patient. It will turn up when they get the police report. No conspiracy, they report stuff like that.

Employee's do take note of how the management handles cash and where it is kept and when it is moved. I never left cash in the register over night. Taking it with you at the end of the business day is not safe either. Every business should have a secure safe and stagger the time they remove money from the business to make deposits. I would be suprised if any business had significant amounts of cash on hand as most transactions are by debit/credit card.

Covered today 4/28 DailySun.

[yogalover]

I just saw it in today's paper...page C4 "Law inforcement briefs" Crazy world. Also robbery in
Bonifay Country Club earlier this week. Stole a 5 foot high safe!

[yogalover]

There was also a burglary in Bonifay Country Club on early in the week. A 5 foot safe was stolen! These were both in todays Village Sun, page C4.

No need for concern, in todays 4/28 Daily Sun.

Too soon for your criticism, in todays paper.

[Posh 08]

OK, it was in the paper already. Would anyone care to share some details for those of us that can't get The Sun? Thanks.

[ronsroni]

me too. Yikes. :-)

[renielarson]

Here we go again with rudeness. Why on earth was it important to make a point of robbery vs. burglary? We all got the point and understood what PennBF was saying. Pointing out the misuse of terms was not necessary and resulted in PennBF replying with a comeback. PennBF should never have had to do that! Think if this were you!

Boy Howdy.

In yesterdays DAILY SUN there was an article with a reference to a "previous report" on the same subject. In the same article it told of the large safe being stolen from Bonifay Country Club.

The Daily Sun ain't the Boston Globe but it has improved a lot in the four years I have been reading it.

I like the Sun.

What a shame that the "real world" of crime etc is getting more prevalent in TV. It sure makes us snowbirds a bit more concerned about our houses down there and their security.

Not to be rude, just an educational oportunity, these crimes are not classified as burglaries or robberies (in my state anyway, could be different down here). In my twenty plus years of law enforcement/criminal prosecutions burglary referes to breaking into a residence, if a business is broken into it is charged as a B & E (breaking and entering) with different code sections and penalties for each. Burglary is a more serious felony because of the potential for the criminal interacting with the victim etc.

[PennBF]

1. I think we should feel blessed that with over 80,000 residents we only have a couple of break ins, etc. We live in a community where a woman can take a walk at midnight and feel safe. Of course with over 80,000 people you can expect a couple of bad things and in these cases none were personal attacks on someone nor house breakins.. We are truly lucky.
2. Regarding what really happened at the restaurant. I was there early on
Monday morning and the Owner's were just looking around. THe window was broken where they entered and the Owner's were waiting for someone to put some plyboard up. They said the "burglar's" got the money from the cash register and from the safe. They were still looking to see if anything else was taken. They said it would be a few days before they could reopen. The police were looking at potential camera's at other stores, (e.g. Publix's , etc).
I am not naive and believe it would be a huge overstatement that these types of violation's in anyway reflect on the safety and peaceful living in The Villages. :highfive:

I don't think two breakins warrant a suggestion of prevalent crime in TV.

Wow...didn't know I'd get the comments regarding my calling The Sun Pravda..I like it too, but it is what it is...Very Slanted..Next someone will say it's "Fair and Balanced"...LOL

There are other threads to discuss the merits of the Daily Sun.

This thread is about a burglary.....

Please try to stay on topic.

Mr/Ms moderator,
I did a search of the forums and found 17 pages of threads where the Daily Sun was mentioned out of context.I did not find one where that(The Sun) was the main topic but I did give up after 5....Within those threads there were many many pages of differing opinions and subject matter...Not once where I could find was the question of off topic mentioned by the moderator..Is this new?? thanks for your service...

I am not the moderator but I don't understand what you mean by "mentioned out of context". The Daily Sun is mentioned all of the time. Once someone says "I read it in the Daily Sun", 50% start bashing the Daily Sun and the other 50% praise the Daily Sun. It is no different that a praise or complaint about a restaurant.

Personally I think that the Daily Sun is MUCH MUCH better than it was in 2001 when I moved here. It still does not carry much of the bad news in the areas. That is why I get the Orlando Sentinel. (This is where the Orlando Sentinel lovers/haters get to chime in.)

I disagree. Robbery by definition is a violent crime, burglary isn’t. And since the title of this thread (Robbery) implied a violent crime in TV when apparently, it was appropriate for PJOHNS2654 to suggest the correction.

[rp001]

My point was the moderator chose this post to bring out the fact I was off topic my mentioning the Sun..I agree with you there is a myriad of posts all over the place regarding the sun, Yet my post was the one called out...I don't understand the logic...Maybe it was the comment "fair and balanced"...a

The sun is a good feel good paper with a lot of info regarding The Villages..Is it slanted? Absolutely..It is what it is and I like it too..

I am thinking just maybe you have a case of obvious deficit disorder. Your referring to The Sun as The Sun P**** that for more than one reason is false and unacceptable to many for different reasons.

I would like to thank you for being here because Mother AKA Moderator now has you to keep him/her busy.

[PennBF]

Let me get this straight. Some fill their time in by attacking and re attacking the use of "Robbery" over "Burglary" after the writer (me) responded almost immediately to correct the term. And while this total waste of time is going on there is an attack on the "Moderator" becasue he/she allows reference to to the newspaper regarding the reporting of the incident. Another total waste
of the writers time since reporting of the news is important if it is/is not referred to in an article how would it ever be discussed? One time there was a great movie titled "12 Angry Men". Are we seeing XX number of angry men since these "attacks" are a total waste of time. As I recall no one is forcing anyone to read a note in TOTV so if someone does not like the content, etc. for goodness sake go to another note. :bowdown:

I think the mention of the Daily Sun as to wether the burglary was or was not reported is relevant to the thread about the burglary.
In particular to those who immediately question why something is not reported the next day after a happening. I call that Daily Sun bashing...................

[Bonny]

Yep, me too. I like my Happy Paper. After listening to the news on TV, the Happy Paper is nice to read.
