This is one of the reasons we like living in a CYV. One way in and one way out and we watch out for each other. Most of us have our vehicles in the driveway and are aware of who drives what.
If someone is driving around real slow one of us will usually ask if we can help them find the person they are looking for or help them out.
They might just be seeing what our Villas are like or looking for a place to buy or rent, but it also deters a possible crime.

Was the damage done at the gates?

Far too much common sense used in this post. (I agree with you)

tire slash and egging, 2 blocks from Chula Vista gate near 466....paint ball shots about 3 blocks....Easy place for a quick turn-around and back out the gate, I'm still shocked that it happened in afternoon....One thing I love about the Villages is that we are a great neighborhood watch community....When your retired if you are not playing and having fun, you are aware of someone who does not belong!...Oh well, eventually they will be caught, I hope!

Paint balls again from a moving vehicle (black pickup) shot at my mother's car.

This happened on Del Mar & Ventura (about).
Mom was northbound, pickup was southbound.

Has anyone called the cops or community watch?

This is a first, now they are doing it to a moving target!.....Sure hope they catch them....Did you call police? Sure hope so....

Mom okay? It's distracting, downright frightening to have your vehicle hit while you're driving.

I believe the Lady Lake Police have been informed.

They struck at similar times each day.

Just got back from reporting this to police, they were getting a report from last victim on Costa Mesa Drive, unfortunately his window was down in car, left car on street for no more than 15 minutes around 5:00 and inside of car hit with paint balls....If you can would you contact Lady Lake Police and give your report to them, I ran copy of the above but I'm sure your mother's account would be very helpful....Good Neighborhood Watch....Yea!

If I were there, I sure would go park in that area with my camera. What time of day did these attacks occur???

They seem to occur between 3:30 and 5:00pm...

I'm wondering if gate button can be cancelled after a certain time of day, making entry by ID card only, and advising anyone needing to enter to go to a manned gate...Then this will be a "True" gated community.

Not possible. Most streets in TV belong and are maintained by their respective county. That's why some of TV streets can never be closed to the public.

Oh Boy, I guess they haven't read the recent posts about the many people in TV who "carry"."Carry" appears to be a euphemism for armed as in gun. Sometimes these pranks wind up being deadly as in dropping items off overpasses, throwing something onto the road, etc. A distracted golf cart driver can easily overturn.

Although a really good sharp shooter could shoot their tires out and then move in and beat the crap outa them.

OK, just kidding. About shooting their tires out.

OK, just kidding.
