Yes, security should be an issue, but as others have just posted, the checking of ID's is not happening on a regular basis. I think the Rec folks do a pretty good job checking ID's at specific classes, but there are many open times when there are no classes scheduled that people do pool walking and swim laps, etc., that the ID's are not being checked.

I too am glad that the facts were flushed out. It goes to show how things happen. Each of us will have learned something from all of this ...like...it's good to be careful even in TV...rumors and facts can be confused etc. I just wonder...you all know that I still am just a wannabe....if the newspaper was more honest about incidents there... if it would help people to feel more informed and put to rest some of the rumors...all tho, I think this one has now been put to bed...hopefully. Welcome to all you new posters.

I made this point about there not being IDs checked in various other posts on this thread. They do as you say though do a good job at checking when exercise classes are going on as far as I know but seem to do a terrible one when classes are not in session.

I keep checking the Villages Daily Sun for this story about lax security at the sports pools to show up but think that this is as about as likely as a foot of snow showing up around Seabreeze Rec Center.

Is the security at the sports pool any different that the family or neighborhood pools??? I dont think so!! Even if they are checking IDs at the sports pool, its normally done inside the pool area not before you get into the shower or lockerooms. IDs are checked routinely when i attend water volleyball at Colony Cottage...but I know it is hit or miss at all the pools. As someone earlier stated, an ID check is a start but a false sense of security for we may have bad "people" among us.

Not certain what story you are expecting in the Village Sun especially based upon this latest incident. We know something happened but whats the story line?

How about......

You should worry because we are not telling you the whole story because if we do you will tell your friends and they won't come down here and buy a house? We are too cheap to pay for armed guards and too afraid to employ the villagers who carry, but we care for you, especially when you give us your money, you old fa..ts. And further, we try to employ people who don't give a ......care...as well. Go away. you are bothering us.

I know gladfly is not a word. It is something that buzzes around with the joy of being around and welcoming people.

Those who mocked, saying in essence, "Tough luck if you want to actually USE the shower and dressing facilities we pay for" should be ASHAMED.

I've been reading here for awhile. There are some Mr. Know-It-Alls who ought to back off and allow others to report something that should be of concern to everyone.

I don't believe it was a mistake for the following reason:

The light switch to the shower is on the R side as you face the entrance to the shower area. There was a flick (on & off) of the light. I resonded in my female voice. About 15 seconds later, his hand appeared on the L side of the shower curtain, very slowly moving the shower curtain to the right.

That is when I immediately grabbed the shower curtain and responded.

Regarding posting here. I find it interesting to read what others are saying about my incident. I hope I don't get addicted to this site.

Yup, sounds like a TOTV addiction is taking root.

You are the best. Nobody could cut through the b******t quicker and in such a great way. When I grow up I want to be just like you

Interesting -- guess the story I was told from the guy at Lake Miona either was talking about a different incident and cleaning up a very unsavory incident. Ya know, I really don't expect security at the pools -- don't get them at public pools/showers/locker rooms in any place that I know of, so why should we here? IDs are checked to keep people who aren't authorized from using the amenities, not to prevent crimes or incidents. I do believe there is a limit as to what TV can or should do for its residents. We're adults and need to be responsible for ourselves.

Kirk, I'm so glad nothing else happened to you. Although you handled it well, it must have been frightening and uncomfortable for you. Wish they would find the guy so that we could at least discover the motive for his actions.

And, Gracie, I think we'd all miss the gladfly if you became this new persona. TV's not perfect, but it is the best version of paradise most of us have found. It's okay to have our eyes open and see the flaws, as long as we love the good stuff. So, keep things in your perspective and keep on enjoying this little piece of paradise.

The incident took place MON, 9/27. I returned FRI, 10/1, to speak to the Lk Miona Rec Ctr manager about the status of the incident.

I'm a little surprised that I haven't received a phone call from the police officer who made the report.
