The same ones in this post with the wise comments are probably the same people that act entitled, what they failed to realize, its all about respect for peoples property. Such a shame!

There probably are bad contractor that work in the Villages and take advantage of the elderly. What the majority of the posters are telling you is that Solar Trek does not seem to be one of them.

I'll bet they were speaking Spanish and had dark skin too. Another of case of working while Spanish. Solar Trek just replaced my pool solar pool heater and did a great job.

You seem to get off starting these types of threads. I remember you posting someone’s criminal record not too long ago. Can’t find it so I’m guessing it was deleted.

If nobody hires "ex"-cons, what do you reckon their other options are? Whether certain individuals deserve to be "ex" would be a different question. . .

The Police were called and they were trespassed off the property. As the deputy's were writing the trespass warning the one individual trespassed right in front of the deputy. To say the least the deputy wasn't amused. After the police left they continued to trespass on the property. After a google searching on both the individuals trespassed, they had records and continuing charges in courts across Florida for Heroin, trafficking, fencing of stolen items, robbery, etc...
The owners of these companies don't care who they send and the safety of the communities. Unfortunately my neighbors are elderly and very nice but new to the villages and they think we live in a gated safe community. I tried to tell them its a community with gates and open to every bad behaved criminal to pray on the elderly.
Watch out people!

I had Solar Trek do my solar heat for my pool a few years ago and they did a great job. The installation crew was very professional and courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Now I would really like to know just what this particular crew did that would warrant this post? Because walking on the neighbors grass seems like just normal being just how close each house is to each other.

The property for which you were so concerned contains an easement allowing ingress and egress for contractors.

The only thing you knew about these men was how they looked and how they sounded. Anything else came after you called the police. I agree with some of the others.

That IS a good warning. Several years ago we had our home robbed when we were away. They took mostly tools. I always had the feeling that one of the local grass-cutting crews tipped them off when we were away for 3 days. 20 years ago The Villages was practically crime-free. Today it seems like crime here is increasing. We need more cameras in neighborhoods to deter crime. An older community needs sophisticated crime deterrence equipment. Retirees DESERVE to live in safety.

Funny the cops didn’t know that - they have to deal with those types of calls often enough to know the easements.

If they come back can you ask them if they can get me a deal on a new computer.

A really good neighbor would have worked with their elderly neighbors to get their job done quickly. A true neighbor would have allowed the workers access to get at the job easier. How can you know what criminal records people have. You can't even know workers names. I think this is all made up to scare elderly villagers. Shame on you.

Who is going to pay for these cameras that you "deserve"?
Do all retirees deserve "sophisticated crime deterrence equipment?" What about those workers who happen to have black marks on their record? Do they deserve to live in safety when they retire? Are you going to pay for it?
By the capitalization of DESERVE, it sounds like that entitlement attitude that plagues The Villages.

Well said. I'm glad that I know my neighbors well enough that I know that they are better people than the OP. I know that they would help me just like I would help them.

I encourage you to move to a place where you FEEL safe. Why stay here where the wolves are nipping at your heels?
