I witnessed some police action on Thur. First a lady was pulled over on our street for what I suspect was speeding, and we are not on a main street. Later in the evening, there was at least 5 police SUVs surrounding a car in the enterence to the Publix parking lot on 466A. There was a sherrif's suv with low lights sitting by the exits of the parking lot of Walmart on 25A on Thur evening. I felt very safe with all these suv's protecting us.

That's good to know that it wasn't you dressed in the sheet.

"If" there indeed was someone like that, going door to door.....I would tend to agree with the poster who said that perhaps it might be someone who is confused......say with early stages of dementia / alzheimers. I'm paraphrasing as I'm not looking at their post at the moment.

From personal experience with an elder, I do know they can "sneak out" and "wander"..........and I do know that they can "strip down naked" in a flash.......for no rhyme or reason. Thank goodness it's warm weather.

Or possibly, could it be someone "locked out of their home"..........

I tend NOT to think that it was a home invasion.........hopefully not anyway.

A Ghost perhaps?

Why didn't I think of that? Especially wearing the sheet, etc.....

If you think there hasn't been crime in Sanibel come on down and talk to the people that live in the white house on Vanilla Leaf place. They were gone for about two hours around 11:00 am about three weeks ago. They came home and the front door was kicked in. A neighbor across the street from that house was in the shower and thought she heard a loud bang on her front door. I live on the next street over. ADT alarm company now have several new customers.
Even the Daily Sun had a small article buried with-in the paper.

Things a changing.

A good alarm with sign, and cameras can give one peace of mind and evidence if needed. When home, S&W can do the job.

Gosh!!!

In my travels, in your section of Sanibel, I have come across flyers being left at doors, from someone trying to start a social group/gathering. Although this is a wonderful idea to introduce neighbors, it was not such a good idea to leave such flyers, especially at this time of the year, when a lot of homeowners are away. To me, I saw it as an indicator that no one was home if these flyers were not picked up. Just food for thought.

Excellent point. Flyers left uncollected is like a sign that states you're not home. Fortunately the Sanibel Heights Neighborhood Association does all of its communication with residents via email. That doesn't stop anyone else from passing out flyers about various services from contractors, even though I suspect that this is a violation of The Villages tenets.

Sanibel heights?

Is that near Sterling Heights, MI or Ocean Reef Fernandina?

It's the name of the Association. Designates a section of Sanibel that includes the area from French Oak Avenue to the Bonifay Country Club on the North side of Pinellas.

Well, there you go, that's why you all are getting robbed. Down here in the Hollar of PattyLand we have no such problems.

Doesn't indicate anything other than a section of Sanibel. And I think we have no such problems either.
