Sad but true. Don't like hearing about the number of break-ins we seem to be having lately.

Are you kidding? There is this kind of crime (an sometimes much worse) anywhere where there is a large population. Most folks aren't aware that it is happening because they don't have a forum like this to inform them.

Robberies....sad, but true
February 18, 2015
A string of burglaries in The Villages is under investigation by the Sumter County Sheriffs Office. In the past week, thieves have gained entry or attempted to gain entry to seven homes in The Villages. In cases when they have broken into homes, they have made off with money and jewelry. Anything they can stuff in their pockets, said Sgt. Robert Siemer of the sheriffs office. They arent after big-screen TVs. The break-ins have occurred on the following dates and locations: Wednesday, Feb. 11 Greenwich Place in the Village of Liberty Park Moncks Court in the Village of Mallory Square Anniston Drive in the Village of Bonnybrook Monday, Feb. 16 Avalos Drive in the Village of Harmeswood of Belle Aire Tuesday, Feb. 17 Barksdale Drive in the Village of St. James Thompson Avenue in the Village of Caroline Eastfield Path in the Village of Gilchrist (attempted break-in, entry was not gained.) Entry was made through the rear of the house in all of the cases. The break-ins have been happening in broad daylight. The earliest was at 9:45 a.m. The latest was 4 p.m. Neighbors are asked to be extra vigilant and call law enforcement if they see any suspicious activity. We would rather they pick up the phone and call us, rather than wish they had, Siemer said. Extra patrols have been added in The Villages, he added. He also urged Villagers to take advantage of the sheriffs free home inspection program. Through it, a member of the sheriffs office will visit a home and provide tips on securing the home. You can schedule an appointment by calling 689-4600. |

The on-line news has a new article about seven break-ins or attempted break-ins that occurred over three different days. They all occurred during daylight hours, from 9:45am until 4:30pm. The various neighborhoods where these occurred are listed.

ONLY ONE south of 466A. So much for that theory.

The crime rate in TV is minuscule in comparison to your 3 previous residences (New York, Scottsdale and Orlando). In medium to large cities these kinds of crimes would never make the news outlets. Here we are lucky to have this kind of communication so that we can be aware of problems and react proactively such as neighborhood watch, alarm systems etc. Crime is everywhere and you can't move away from it. You can only do your best not to become a victim.

some posters say its worse in other cities. My reaction to that is twofold: first I am not concerned about other cities I live here. secondly crime is rising greatly here despite what some folks say. any attempt to rationale this subject is of no benefit because we should have zero tolerance for this kind of stuff. |

Gerryann: thank you so much for your informative post. Burglary or robbery aside people feel very violated and we do need to be very proactive and very conscious of our surroundings
