In all reality, we in The Villages should never become complacent or let our guard down. Does that mean you can’t have fun and enjoy going out? Of course not, just remember we are not a secure gated community (like some think we are) and bad people can upset your lives.

[QUOTE=graciegirl;1580347]By all means don't let any of this upset you.

Some are gypsies and some are tramps and some are thieves.

and of course watch out for Cher.

Help meeeeeeeeeee! Cher is singing in my head and she won’t stop!!!!




(Hey! Jaggy! I posted and then saw your post. So you are hearing Cher, too?)

See something say something no matter what they look like! Forget about this political correctness and calling it racist.

Spot on B-flat and Gracie Girl. I lived in the Greek Islands many years ago and in the winter the ‘travelers’ arrived and our Greek neighbors warned us to not let them in our courtyard and to take our clothes off the line.

We should stop the BS political correctness about "dog whistles" It is common sense. See Something Say Something. If the person of persons belong where they are, it cost them 5 minutes. Otherwise it might have cost someone a great deal of heartache over stolen things or worse.

News flash. We’re all old, and we all think we’re bright. There are scam artists around all the time. Some are blond, some are red heads, some are white, some are other ethnicities. Some are female, some are kids, ... I like what Diane Reynolds said -
Fear of people other than those who look like "us" is a recipe for disaster. Please look at people for who they are, not who you think they are.

Yes... thank you so much, Jaggy. Arrrrrrrrgh!
🎵Gypsies, tramps and thieves... da da da da dadadada da da da da daaaaaaaaa🎵

Gypsies, travellers, call them what you like, but if you have them in your area, nail down everything, never let them 'Fix' your drive or roof, and never turn your back on them.
And that is not being a racist, that's bein a realist!
We live with their 'visits' every year in UK and they have no scrupples or fear of the law, in fact the law here is afraid to touch them because of all the PC fallout from the bleading heart brigade.
