TV / great place to live
 

What a great place we live in. My husband drove our golf cart to the small neighborhood Walmart 3 miles from our home this morning. He made a few last minute Christmas food purchases, only to discover at the checkout register that his wallet was at home. A customer behind him INSISTED on paying for his groceries. Hubby did remember to get her name and address (lives in Pinellas) and just mailed her a Christmas card and $ to repay her kindness. Merry Christmas Fellow Villagers

Yes, for the most part, this is a wonderful place to live. Very good people!

I thought it was the best place until this morning. Went to Pet Smart and bought $60 worth of toys and chews for my dog a new puppy coming next weekend. Went to Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital to get some heart worm pills. I was not in there 5 minutes and the bag from Pet Smart was stolen. My fault I did not lock the car. Stealing dog treats and toys in a Vets parking lot is very low.

Are you sure you didn't leave it somewhere? That kind of thing is most unusual, unless the gypsies are back.

No!
 

I absolutely did not leave it anywhere. I put bag in the car at PetSmart and drove to Buffalo Ridge. I did not bring the bag into the veterinary hospital. Things happen here that are not always positive.

Probably was not a Villager.

?
 

My car was surrounded by golf carts. I would be shocked that it was not a Villager.

What a pity you were treated so shabbily. Guess my husband’s involvement with an act of kindness might tip the scales a tad.

Yes
 

I feel badly! I am still excited about picking up my puppy next Saturday. If the worse thing that happens to me this week was having $60 taken I am having a great week.
Last year in Fresh Market the men in front of me had forgotten his wallet. I insisted on paying and received the money rounded up to the whole dollar in 2 days.

GREAT place to live!

Leave NOTHING visible in your cart or car. They will break your window for small change. The stores sell tools that break you car window with a tap. The tool is for emergency exit of your car in a accident but the thieves love them.

Yup
 

It was on the floor under the dashboard. I drive a convertible, the top was up. but I have been told they will cut the top if they really want entry. Anything of real value I lock in the trunk. I never thought someone would steal $60 of dog toys and treats. Going forward everything will go in the trunk.

Indeed. I wish one of the honest villagers had gotten my package that was put in the wrong mailbox. I waited a week in hopes the person who got it would make it right. No such luck.

Agree
 

It is a very nice place to live but it is not Utopia.

How do you know it was put in the wrong box?
