I would not advertise that you have weapons, that is a good reason for somebody to break in.

Someone had a wooden desk at the curb marked "Free".
It sat there for days
Next, he attached a price of $50.
I was gone by morning.
In my younger days when I attended Bible College I was studying to be a Bible translator. One of the things we were taught, make the book available for anyone who wants one. But never give it away for free. Studies showed people who were given a free Bible often threw it into the next available trash can. People who had to pay $1 for it, usually took it home.

Did someone steal it?

Stonecrest is like 30 to 40 minutes from Brownwood - and probably 10 to 15 min from Spanish Springs - it’s not in the Villages. There were probably 5 to 10 homes broken into within a 30 minute radius of the Villages this weekend.
Can we get a post on each one please?

I really do wish we could get/give more details of robbery's in our area, but I'm sure it would interfere with solving most cases.

I put an old work bench with a saw horse to the curb. I made a nice "Free" sign out of some scrap lumber with a pointer on a swivel for future use .

My security camera recorded a guy who stopped, looked over the stuff, then loaded the "Free" sign into his cart.

Robbery
 
It can’t be a robbery if no one’s home, just a burglary and theft. For a robbery to take place a person must be present, then was a weapon present or was it strong arm, different degrees of robbery.Still a terrible thing to have happen.

SOMEONE authorized the burglars to be there. That's an actual gated community.

Unless maybe they got one of those handy dandy gate openers that get promoted by various Villagers here on ToTV, to bypass the need for an actual gate card.

Stonecrest is right next door to the Villages on the northeast side of 441 (the historic side). We share a golf cart path between Aldi's and Walmart.

Many folks in the villages have told stories of cars being broken into, some folks have said they can't leave any garden tools out on their lawn for fear of them being taken. One story was that someone in TV was working on their lawn, left the tools out on the lawn, (not by the curb), only to find the tools missing when he came back after finishing his lunch. Just what I have read.....
Why not just report on what you have personally witnessed.

You are 100% correct, thanks.
It was burglary and theft not a robbery as stated

StoneCrest is outside and north of The Villages

Crime in The Villages itself seems to be extremely low
No crime is hidden well in The Villages
