Where is the safest place to park a car at Spanish Springs?
 

We do not go to SS much because we have seen some shady characters hanging out in the parking lots and that is where the guy was killed by a group of thugs a few weeks ago.

However, after watching Joey Dee and the Starlights at Brownwood on Saturday, we very much want to see them at SS next week. In your opinion, where is the safest place to park our car?

there isn't! if you don't get mugged you will probably step in a pile of dog poop or if its dark a coyote or florida panther will bite you. plus there are std infections evferywhere!!!:a040:

We have never had a problem parking in SS.

:1rotfl:

Do you get the std from a coyote or panther bite or do you or your dog have to eat the poop???? (I don't make this stuff up, there was another thread on this very subject)...

I think..........
The lot of us are tired waiting for that big blob of rain to hit our area. I think that whole thing on radar is a weather service conspiracy....

seems to hit a wall in the inverness area

SS town Square is as safe as the rest of The Villages. There have been very few incidents there. Certainly the restaurant employee losing his life was a huge tragedy, and there have been one or two golf carts stolen, but it's not exactly downtown Detroit.

It seems that some people here, hear one or two stories and believe that there is a big crime problem. There isn't. There have been two or three isolated incidents over the past 4-1/2 years that I've been here. For a community of 130,000 that's an extremely small amount.

Don't forget the Cougars!

The young man that lost his life is indeed very tragic.
With that being said, had he called the police instead of going after and confronting those guys, this may have not happened.

Looks to me like you'd be safer in Lady Lake than Wildwood.

We have observed several thug-looking groups hanging out in the parking lots at SS. Over near the veterans monument, we saw a young guy trying to make a serious phone call (drug deal?) while his trashy-looking girlfriend was hanging all over him. Maybe that happens more in the parking lots near to 441.

My guess is it might be better to park behind the Rialto, which is farther from 441.

What do thugs look like? How do I know when they're making a drug deal on the phone? If I think that someone is making a serious phone call, is it a drug deal? Just curious.

The original thugs, The Bowery Boys

How could you tell it was a serious phone call ? And how could you determine it was a drug deal ?

I don't think the OP is alone in his thinking. Based on what I've read here many people conceal carry. My thinking that's way overboard, this isn't Dodge City 1883 ! Maybe a can of mace but not a freaking weapon [emoji379]...
To each his own in how their world is perceived I guess.
