I never saw this mentioned in TOTV or in Sun Times. Hubby says if you want to know about the crime in The Villages, and there is plenty, go to court and where it's actually being tried.

We will be getting an alarm system!
Oh, Angie. I'm sorry to hear that your husband was injured assisting someone. Where was the gas station where the incident occurred?

But it is what it is. Life is short. Don't worry about it.
I here you!

Yeah, it's like continuing to beat a dead horse or correcting someone's grammar, right?

I am not concerned about their personal affronts on other villagers or if the crime occurred here or there. Further they're being petty on whether (weather) it is a robbery larceny or pilferage.

However, I am concerned that people travel freely around The Villages looking for opportunities such the OP described in Tall Trees.

What is it about us that makes us easy targets? Our age, our trusting nature or the myth that all people who live in The Villages are rich?

I keep my doors locked and my garage door down because I recognize that critters and vermin come in all shapes and sizes

Most of thise things I lernt back in grammer skool.

Yeah, I leave the garage door open sometimes during the day. Especially if I'm doing some work outside. It's just for my convenience and saves wear and tear on the springs and rollers. If some one sneaks in when I'm not looking and steals something, well that's the price I pay for my decision. As Mom would say, they must have needed it more than I did. Gotta feed the family, or buy some drugs, or something real important.
Seems like a stupid crime anyway. Can't make much money selling used golf clubs. Can't hardly get rid of them at a garage sale.

Not only do we make sure our garage is closed at all times, but we lock our clubs on when we go to breakfast after golf. My husband was in the bank one day. A man came in very disgusted and said his $300 bat was taken out of his golf cart in Southern Trace Shopping Plaza. You just can't be too careful this day and age.

walk softly and carry.

My grammar blows and I make mistakes typing all the time. I guess I just can't understand how a larceny can be confused with a Robbery. It's mind boggling. There is enough stuff in the Villages that gets over exaggerated, not trying to be a pain, just thought I could help put things in perspective. People "correct" people on here all the time. It's not a big deal.

I'm just wading in without reading all the posts. If I saw a theft like this, I'd ride on the bumper till the law came.

Parker, I can relate to that. Fireboy is a busy garage guy also. He is usually working on his hobby, E Flyer planes, and our garage door is constantly left open. And so is the door from the garage to the house. And we may be out back in the birdcage having a cool drink.

This thread is a good thread reminder that a little more caution would be a good thing.

Barefoot,

For that reason we have installed a roll-up garage screen. Reduces the heat, and allows me to work in there. I can see out, but others cannot see in. When you get back, I'll show Rick.
