Golf cart taken from home in historic side yesterday afternoon.
 
And abandoned with batteries missing.

Its starting to be like a mini Detroit down there. Guess no where is crime free nowadays.

We have a long way to go to meet that description.

It was abandoned a short distance from the home if I am reading this right. From Kim Lane in Orange Blossom Hills to Silver Lake Golf course. It was not taken out of the general area and just the batteries removed. Many homes do NOT have garages there.

Until there is gated security, its almost impossible to keep low-lifes out of the Villages, anyone can come in and drive up and down for a good target. Just look at the day old POA newspapers in the drive, that tells the bad guys "No One Is Home"

Yep, it would be a real problem to have a golf cart in just a carport. So many of the older ones are keyed the same.

It would help if owners would know there serial #'s of there carts so WE may alert dealers in the area when a cart shows up for parts and repairs, or a quick sale.

The streets in the Villages are public so none of them will ever be gated. Don't forget that gated communities must pay for their own street resurfacing and repairs and no one in the Villages wants to absorb THAT cost!

Just as a point of interest, there is usually more crime in gated communities than non-gated because the the image which is created is that the residents have more expensive things and more of them.

Gated or not, when a burglar wants to get in, he probably will.

GG - for someone that thinks that TV is a perfect place, you sure point out the problems in TV. Are you on a mixed agenda?

Boy, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I never thought GG had her head in the sand regarding TV. She likes to remind people of the good reasons to be here. She also likes to alert people to what they need to be careful of.

Don't see why she should be slammed for voicing her opinions and concerns.

Hope you're right Bogie.


This place is our home. I love it and feel protective of it and I am very hopeful that the hard working,dedicated law enforcement people here from all venues are going to protect us. I HATE half truths and rumors and unbased speculation. If there are nine break ins. I think we should all know there are NINE, not eight and not ten. We have now a new and excellent source of breaking news and that is more than wonderful. We KNOW what is happening as soon as the news is available. We don't do a half bad job here ourselves, telling what has happened and keeping people aware. I am hoping that this latest rash of trouble will be history, AND NOT the beginning of something awful. I am hoping very hard that law enforcement will find WHO kicked in those doors. I have a feeling they are close.

What makes you think the low-lifes don't live in The Villages?

I like finding out information, here on TOTV. At least we are kept updated on knowing what's going on around us.
