Burglary on Adrienne Way
 

I now know,what happened on Adrienne Way in the village of Sanibel. There was a home burglary. The front door was kicked in either last night or today. The owners were away. No word yet on what was taken. It's starting to make me a little uneasy. What is it with Sanibel?? This is the third burglary in about 3 months.

It happens in new neighborhoods. Seems that thieves are getting braver and meaner, though. Previously, it wasn't breaking down doors but more "sneaking in" (open lanais, unlocked front doors). It will stop when the new builds are done and more people have moved in and are out and about. At least that's been the case in previous burglaries.

Redwitch...this one seems to be in a lived in area.

My guess is that this is the same lowlife scummy person. All within houses of each other with easy access to the parking lot at Bonifay???. THREE and all with the front doors kicked in.


They are gonna catch this guy and I am gonna cheer.


Creep, nasty low life stealer!!!


Work and make your OWN money.

Security system! Problem solved.

There is a heroin addict living right near that home. She frequents the
Sanibel pool to shoot up in the bathroom. She also hooks up many of her
purchases in the parking area there or on her street. ( we have told her not
to use the bathroom anymore as she ties it up for 30 minutes at a time )
I think this may be why the breakins are localized.............

Might want to alert police with info

Appears the lowlife scum have found that The Villages is quite vulnerable not policed well and easily accessed. There is a drug addict using a public bathroom and no one bothered to tell the local police.?

You have to be kidding - the police haven't been notified of this activity?

Would SHE be able to kick in doors? I can't see how a woman could do that.


As I reread your old posts I see that you are the person who plays the music loud at the Sanibel Pool.

Are these activities what the pool group has surmised? Why hasn't someone reported her to law enforcement?

How do you know that she is using the bathroom for this activity and how can a villager tell another villager to not use a public restroom? Did you find drug stuff there? Maybe she is drinking? If you saw drug activity in the parking lot, why didn't you report it?


Pardon me for the questioning, but I watch a lot of TV shows. And Judge Judy too.

Shooting up at the pool, dealing in the parking lot; Why didn't you call the sheriff?

I would be embarrassed to post such information.............that I had not called the sheriff.

I know where she lives. Seen her many times wandering around....seems she's waiting for someone.

I think on the street that is called "a buy".

The Sanibel area is all built out and has been for quite some time. There may be a lot here and there that is not built on as yet, but scarce. I do believe all the lots bordering the golf course is full. I am wondering if the thieves are targeting homes that the owners are full time, or nearly so. Seasonal residents don't leave valuables behind, jewelry, etc when they go back North or West. So, TV's and disc players and such may not be the pick of the thieves since they are large to move out, and probably do not have enough resell value to be worth the risk.

I know you live in Sanibel. I know this is very worrisome to you and other nice folks who live there. Sanibel is just a lovely area and people take such good care of things there.


Does it look like the same person to you? How can they KNOW when people leave their homes in broad daylight???


Had you heard about this supposed Heroin addict?


I can't imagine that they won't catch him/her soon. I so hope so.

Once again, Bogie speaks what is on others minds. If a person knows a drug user is buying drugs in The Villages in a pool parking lot AND shooting up in the restroom - why hasn't the poster called the sheriff?

The answer is most likely because it is not really happening!

From what I have heard, there is a large number of Villagers who "pack heat" whenever they leave the house. Why haven't they intervened if this is really happening? Once again, because it is not happening!

...and I really doubt that a female drug addict could kick in a front door and carry off loot unnoticed to anyone.

I missed something here......so, you know where a heroin addict who shoots up in the pool bathroom lives and you have done nothing about this??? You are kidding right?

And the stupid people live on!

Gracie, Your question of how can they know when people leave their homes in broad daylight comes to my mind as I think of all the service crews working in all our areas, from lawn care, house washing, handyman work, etc. All of them have access to our property, not only to do the service work, but we can be under observation of our comings and goings by employees. Not saying all our bad, but a worker for a reputable business could be the eyes needed to set up a next hit.
How to ensure that your or I is not the next home, don't know at this time. But maybe have to put in an alarm system, as one thought. Securing the front door and exiting and entering through the garage another, not the best answer for sure. Such a conundrum.......

All that is necessary to know who's not home is to ride down the street garbage collection day.

If you are a witness to this , it's your duty to call the cops and report it as it's happening. As they say , if you see something, say something.

Can't prove a thing that's why nothing has been done. She looks the part and acts suspicious at times but can't prove she's a drug addict. Maybe the OP has seen more than I.

Suspicious activity can be reported to the authorities and they most likely will monitor or set up decoys for the situation. It should be reported.

news is if the person is tying up the bathroom for half hour, she or he is runing out of veins...have to wonder if she or he may be a diabetic, and strange and odd behavior may be due to not using insulin correctly, or early signs of alzheimer

Or any number of things that a gastroenterologist might be of help with.


I think that Bonrich is probably right on with her assessment.


WHO were the firms cutting grass at the time of the break ins?

I see nothing in Jimroy's post to indicate whether he has or has not contacted the police. Perhaps he has and there was nothing they could do? Does hanging around at the pool, using the restroom for long periods, meeting other people, or walking around one's neighborhood constitute a crime? I wouldn't imagine a local ordinance like loitering would even apply.

I guess the police would need to set up surveillance and catch a drug transaction in process in order to make an arrest, and what's the probable cause for that? I'm also doubtful that anyone would walk to a public restroom to shoot up when they could easily do that in their home. She's not living on the street with nowhere else to go.

Not necessarily, we have a low carbon footprint and often skip a day or even a week of pickup. We do have many guns in the house and on our person though.

ditto, Gustavo. I've had my door kicked in before and would not hesitate to shoot.

Ah, here come the gunners..............................

I have cause to believe that there wasn't another burglary in the last few days in the vicinity of Adrienne Way.


I talked to one of our local news sources and that person had not heard of anything in that area.


Does anyone here know of it being reported anywhere? Locally? The Orlando Sentinel?

So, just for converstion sake, you are saying any home without bags has no one home? We don't generate enough trash to put ours out twice a week. Just saying... :)

So, after 4 pages of posts, I saw absolutely NOTHING of this being a THIRD burglary on Adrienne Way - I claim it DID NOT HAPPEN.

Just some of the "I heard it happened" from neighbors at the pool or rec centers but NOTHING to substantiate what happened - which was NOTHING.

Why?

New Flash - Contrary to the Morse Family Propaganda Machine - Crime does happen in the Villages. This is fact despite the silence of the "Good News Paper,' WVLG and the lies of the sales agents who work for the developer (One actually told a friend in my presence that "crime was non-existent" in the Villages. Of course, I called her on it). With that said, the Villages is one of the safest communities anywhere in the country. However, as the Villages grows and becomes more prominent as a Florida population center, the frequency of crime will increase. As residents, we need to maintain the same level of vigilance and common sense that we had before we moved to the Villages. We can not prevent someone from kicking a door in, but we can lock our houses and cars and call law enforcement when something looks suspicious.

Was this part really necessary to make your point?

I would challenge anyone to find a safer community of approximately 100,000 residents that is safer than The Villages. Please cite your sources or provide links.

What is the worst crime you know of personally in The Villages? Did it occur because of outsiders in The Villages or was it an issue in The Villages? When did this crime occur?

Murder. July 2006. Diana Miller, 63 was murdered in her home in Springdale. Her 71 year old husband, James, was shot in the head, but survived. Assailants did not live in The Villages. Marion County sheriff's detectives said Renaldo McGirth, 20, and two accomplices, Jarrord Roberts, 22, and Theodore Houston, 19, tried to rob the Millers at their home in The Villages of Springdale. Villages killer is youngest inmate on Florida's death row - Orlando Sentinel

That's probably the worst I am aware of. Not personally, of course. So I could be wrong.

Their daughter, age 40, who lived with them was involved with the killers. The daughter was heavily into drugs and a huge problem to her parents. They made the mother get on the internet to order things for them after they shot her once in the chest. Read more...it is bad.


Here is more about it.

Two meth labs in the last year. One by young adults renting in the Villages and one by an older adult living with his mother in The Villages.
