As a person who lives alone 8 months a year I am aware of my surroundings. I take offense that you think people are angry, or in fear. Trust me I can take care of myself, but there are 90 year old women who live here alone and I would never call them in fear or angry, but taking control of their well being.
I run between 3 and 4am alone with pepper spray to ward off the possible wild animal. Happening on any person when I arrive in the dark at my home in my drive would challenge me as to how I would protect myself.
Yes you are trying to do good, but to tell residents we are in fear or angry, shame on you. I have had community watch get out of their truck to ask if I am ok at 3 am. Even though I am pretty sure it's them I am still on alert. I have always felt safe when I run, but have to say running into a person in my drive in the dark, how would I know it was you trying to do a good deed.
So sign me as not angry or afraid, just glad I have not found you in my drive in the dark.
Since we bought in TV in 2010, I have had many neighbors offer to do things for me, but it's was always in the light of the day.
Just a heads up there are many people who run in the wee hours, not just me.

Very well stated.

There are so many good people who post on this forum.


Hugs to all of you.


So glad to live here among you.

In a court of law if the trespasser is not shot inside of your house then you will have major problems

I like to see all the different opinions.

I have neighbors whose newspapers I would put in front of their doors readily if these papers were out for a while. Other neighbors I would be a little wary about walking up to their doors with a newspaper in hand. Changing their lamp post lights would be a whole different matter. A lot depends on what kind of relationship I have made with a certain neighbor over the 10.5 years I have been here now in the wonderful Villages. If it is a newer neighbor who has just moved in I would wait and see what kind of person this is before violating their space so to speak.

I think this poster has already stated that.

I sure agree with that remark. "Stand your ground" would be a tough road to hoe.

Sometimes unsolicited help is not wanted especially when it has to do with such a trivial matter. I'll take care of the little things. If something big comes up, and I need help, I'll ask. If I don't ask, rest assured I've got this !

What happens when Mr. Walker hurts himself while performing a task on someone else's property? Is he properly bonded and insured?

wwjd ?

You are in fact referring to your immediate neighbors, those within an eyeshot of the front and back yards. The walker walks 5 miles. Hardly a neighbor in the literal sense.

That is nice , but please do not leave notes on Ridge Spring drive, I am well aware of when my light is out!!!!
This is no concern of yours! Stay off my property.. !
PS it is not a deed restriction to leave your car in the street, These are county roads, call the Villages department if you have a problem...
Please mind your own business..!! Again... STAY OFF MY PROPERTY!

Meet "The Walker"
 

As a former numismatist I have always been fascinated with this American coin. Never had it as part of my collection, always wished I did.
