For years I have made it my mission statement to pick up at least three pieces of litter every day. Ever since I moved to The Villages in 2004 I have added to that mission statement by repairing at least three ball marks on each green that I play.

Great suggestion. But better have a lawyer on retainer to deal with the charges of trespassing and vandalism, and a full bank account to pay for him and the hefty fines, assuming you don't get some jail time. And since over 1/2 of Villagers own a firearm, better duck as well. There must be a better way to deal with these pigs.

Are you sure about that? I believe the legal standard is "expectation of privacy". If you are photographed at a square, fair game (as long as you aren't selling the image). If you plant a spy cam in someone's bathroom, different story. And leaving a pear core on a post is littering.

People at the square do this too, leave their empty cups and water bottles laying all over, but in all fairness, they could be outsiders and not TV residents.

When you throw stuff in a storm drain it’s going to end up in the nearest lake.

Now would you like to add cigarette butts to this littering conversation?

Both of these people are slobs littering in our community as well as any other that purposely litters. If I see you again (or any other ) I will follow you, take pictures of you and where you live, and post it on any and all social media sites I can for all to see so they will know what you are.

I live here, this is my community. Willing to bet most of us don't want any littering slobs here. So, for all that agree with me, keep an eye out and speak up about it.

For those whom are the slobs, leave. most of us don't want you here. If you want to live in a dumpy place, go there. Don't bring your bad habits here.

Is it time that golf carts have a license plate or some type of identification?
If all golf carts were registered, and had identification, it would be easy to determine who was violating rules, speeding, littering, and many other issues.

Unfortunately, the SLOBS that do the littering probably don't read these threads.
