Maybe she got it confused with the supposed robbery of a couple of customers on Dec. 1 at Gator's Dockside at Spanish Springs. You know, the one where the perp doesn't have any ears.

When I posted on another thread about the robberies in "The Villages" I wasn't just talking about Sanibel! Another poster said I didn't read all the threads so I didn't understand that this was a concern... That poster was right. I don't have time to read all the threads. That would mean sitting on my computer all day reading TOTV.... And I don't have time for that.

Let me be clear. There are robberies in The Villages that aren't being reported by the news. Not just in Sanibel but in The Villages! Not just breaking into homes but weapons as well...

I don't know if The Villages is a "safe" place to live or not. But I know the fact that these robberies are not being reported in the news is giving people a sense of security that maybe they shouldn't have.

One of the residents sent out an email about an incident that happened... Something we knew about because it happened to someone in our hood. They received a notice from The Villages that maybe it isn't a good idea to send that kind of email out.... It scares the residents.

My husband has has to go to court because he was slugged trying to protect an older female resident of The Villages. He said that if you sat in court you would be VERY concerned about the robberies and aggravated sexual assaults, in The Villages some with weapons!

Happienow tried to come on here and tell you about another one. Many of you wanted to make her out to be a liar. Thanks... Thanks a lot! Because the next time it happens... Do you think she will want to come on here and post it???

She was trying to warn you.... and I for one thank her!

Did your husband get slugged outside of Athens at the Cruise In last Saturday. Something happened and a woman was sprawled out on the ground.

No... Slugged at the gas station six months ago... An older lady was being verbally accosted and physically threatened by a lawn service owner at the station.

AGGRAVATED SEXUAL assaults.......WITH WEAPONS??????? Yikes!!!! If that is going on here, I for one want to know. So, if this is true and any of you have info regarding this...please post. I'd move out.....fast!!!!! I never had assaults with weapons in my neighborhood back home and I don't want to live anywhere that it goes on...especially if it doesn't get reported for whatever reason.

[perrjojo]

I am certain many incidents occur in TV are not reported. I know of some in our neighborhood that have not been reported. However, there are incidents in EVERY neighborhood in America that go unreported.

FROM WHO, in what agency, what part of the official villages sent an email saying exactly WHAT? ??????? That is VERY hard to believe. There have been so many over the top emails I have seen circulating but I haven't ever heard of anyone getting any kind of response from The Villages.


Happinow was very clear in her post about the first breakin and the second and people were confused if she was talking about a recent third breakin in Sanibel. I don't know that anyone has cleared that up yet. I have heard of two, and the armed robbery at Codys, but not a third in Sanibel. Do you know of a third Angie? I asked Meta Minton a couple of days ago and she hadn't heard of another one.


Why would both The Sun that is NOT owned by the developer and Meta Minton's online news be not printing these things IF they were happening?


Just trying to quell rumors.

You don't have to believe me... If you want to know... go to the Sumter County court house and sit for awhile....

People are trying to post on here and tell you about it, and are getting shut down. They "don't want to hear it".

If people know and and are keeping watchful eye...it will stop.

It took days for the robbery at Spanish Springs to show up in the paper I'm not sure why ... or why it even showed up when it did.

My husband was slugged at the gas station in The Villages... There was a report made.. There were witnesses to the incident and yet... no one heard about it in The Villages. The guy who hit him had been convicted of 13 felonies before that... Don't you think something like that would have been reported???

Someone came on here trying to tell people about the problems at the squares and it just gets shut down... We have been told by friends who work for The Villages it's true! For crying out loud.. You think all these people are lying???

Here is the article. It said the law enforcement held the news pending the sketch of the perp, below with no ears.

We have been told there was a third by other people who are not on TOTV. By people who live in that area. Regardless of THAT one.. I posted about another one that was ignored about a TV taken from a lanai next to the Captiva parking lot.

Again.... I don't care if you believe me or not. The letter was not mine to quote or post. We all knew about the letter and my husband said he saw it. The person who got it isn't one to lie about it. But.. just for the sake of argument... (not that anyone does that here) let's just say there were "only" two in Sanibel. It still doesn't diminish the fact that there is trouble in River City!

Where I come from.... All police reports are posted in the paper. That doesn't seem to be the case here. Now... That being said, I'm not sure how many times people are calling the police or calling VCDD. I would suggest, when there is a problem, people stop calling VCDD and call the police. VCDD has no authority.

Gracie... You KNOW me and you KNOW I don't spout rumors! You can check out all my past threads... No rumors...

Everyone who thinks this is bunk... Go to the courthouse and sit for a day! My husband has been there for five so far.... He is not impressed.

Knowledge is power...

Thanks Dot.


We had three couples Monday night for a pretty special meal. Two of them we have known more than forty years.


Santa has been here and the tree has lots of surprises under it and daughter one and son in law two and grandchild two will be arriving late tomorrow night. Granddaughter one is a little sad as she is now part of the work force and has to put out the news. (lack of seniority) But she has a paying job and we are looking to live off the grandkids here pretty soon.
