What time of day did this crime occur? I was at Gator's for about six hours that day. I don't remember anything happening.

I believe it was close to midnight.

I would expect to see more of this here in the Villages. If I were a crook this would be an area I'd work.
Question is, will the community sit back and do nothing and wait till things get really bad, before they do anything about it? Or will they act quickly to make it a not so friendly place for criminals?
...and yet The Villages remains virtually crime-free for a community of around 100,000 people. What do you attribute that fact to?

What would YOU suggest for the community to do to act quickly to make The Villages a not so friendly place for criminals?

Another burglary today in Sanibel, I think this is the third one in the last month in that neighborhood. Perhaps the thugs are realizing that TV is an easy target???? Burglary on Adrienne Way

Bogie is most likely right with saying there is probably one person doing these kick-in burglaries. Same pattern fits all. Chances are it is a worker in the area who knows when no one is home.

Was it reported what was taken? Sometimes, homeowners do stupid things like leave empty boxes for new televisions in the driveway. This tells thieves what is good to steal.

Still, in a community of 100,000 our crime rate is neglible.

I found that funny because I just put an empty Black Cow bag at the end of the driveway for the gman.

People know that the 3rd page of Local in the Sun is the place to find the lead stories about what is happening newsworthy in The Villages.

However, please tell me what communities of similar size are substantially safer than The Villages.
I still have not heard from the poster who stated there are communities of similar size to The Villages that are substantially safer.
