Was it Dillinger who stated when asked why he robbed banks, replied, "That's where the money is". (If not Dillinger, than somebody just as notorious).

I am sure by now the word is out that there sure are a lot of stuff to steal around The Villages.

This post reminded me of a 150 foot crane that was stolen from New York City construction site during the day. Picture a big old crane moving in traffic and no one said anything.

We have great neighbors. If our garage door is open for any length of time or at an unusual time we can always expect a call from our neighbor's asking if we wanted it to be open. Most of time it is no and thank them for their kind watching. We always watch out for each others home if one is out of town and would report any unusual things. THis works really well and I think more should do this. We live in a cul-d-sac so it is easy to watch each others property. :popcorn:
