Hello All:

To those that suggest we might have someone angry at us, I doubt that. We have only lived here since June, house has been empty for nine months prior. We only know two of our neighbors and are very friendly with them. We say hello or wave to everyone else we see around the neighborhood. We live in Villas, so most of our neighbors are snowbirds and not around yet. We keep the grass cut and lawn in beautiful shape. We park our car only in our driveway or garage. We do not have any lawn oraments and obey all the restrictions. We like the restrictions.

Like I said, we do live close to the high school, so we suspect some silly mischief by kids or maybe some bored grandparents. LOL Like previously stated, no harm done, just annoying.

They probably stole the toilet paper from the school too!

Smile Mystery Solved

The mystery has been solved....one of our neighbors fessed up! A little too much partying turned into a funny prank. No harm done and relieved to know teenagers are not roaming our streets here at night!

WELL...Thank goodness it didn't rain...Or it wouldn't have been funny. AND that is a relief to us would be vigilantes...or this one anyhow.

That is good news. A friend up here in MA recently had his car TP'd (son soccer team prank) and it rained that night. What a mess!

PS. Did you ask your neighbors if they own a paint gun? This would clear up another thread.

I apologize - you should try it.

Does anyone else think this post was unfair to OUR KIDS?
Hi Bombero.

I don't understand your post.

I'm with you Gracie, I don't understand it either. I didn't think Salpal was harsh in any of their post.

I'll just stick around and wait while someone explains this post.

I had thought it was a neighbor or new friend. Cannot see teens doing this without some reason.

The "unfairness" to the Villages' kids seems to come from the way some on this thread jumped to the conclusion that teens toilet papered the vehicle.

That was also my take on that post, Taltarzac. It happens a lot on his forum. Kids take a lot of heat here on this forum.

We are too quick pointing fingers. Once it starts it seems pack mentality kicks in.



Two recurring examples of jumping to conclusions:
1. First time posters have a negative agenda.
2. Failed businesses are due to Developer charging high rent.
