The lots are no longer owned by The Villages. They are all owned by residents and have been for years. There are no vacant lots or new homes for sale in Bridgeport at Lake Miona.

The Villages don't have to commit crimes to sell their homes either. THIS is the fastest growing community in the country.

these lots were sold a long time ago. TV doesn't stand to profit but the home owners sure will especially with the apparent don't snitch mentality of the neighborhood or should I say the 'hood

This thread has been going on for sometime now. Has the questions asked here been asked at the CDD meetings? There is a period for open comments. The April meetings minutes are not available, but I could not find where this topic was brought up in the March meetings. Or is it just easier to b#%*h here?

This thread started less than a week ago and was based on an article in the online news from April 17th, so it would not have been brought up in any meetings in March. If you are tired of reading this thread, then just ignore it in the future.

I went back and read the article referenced in that quote. It does not state that the case is closed. It states the following:

"The Sumter County Sheriffs Office has exhausted all of its leads in its investigation into the unlawful removal of the trees late last year at Lake Miona, according to District Manager Janet Tutt."

There are no further leads to pursue, Tutt said.

There is no mention that the case is closed.
Thank you for researching the answer to my question. I thought that was what I read.
Just look at how many posters have assumed the "case is closed" and went on to complain.....................

The oldest investigative trick in the book: announce that leads are dead and nowhere to go. Criminals relax. Someone slips. Simple.

I don't think you were wrong, Ms. Tutt's statements are the same as case closed!

Totally uncalled for remark.
Do you know everything going on in your "hood"?

How about if somebody three blocks away around 6 corners from your house where you do not go anywhere near. Are you in any way party to what might be going on there? If they for example took down their bird cage and put in a new one that was two feet into the set back....would you allow that you being in the "hood" should know about it?

Of course not to all the above.

The remarks made are insensitive even in jest.

This poster could be on to something. Is there any chance that new lots could be cleared and sold in this area? Of course that still doesn't explain why no one saw anything or heard anything while this was going on.

There are no more new lots in the village of Bridgeport at Lake Miona.
It has been built out for several years.

While speculation and opinion is the most abundant I will offer another hypothesis. There are homes in the area of question that are for sale. Is it a possibility some "enhancements" were made that had no residents involved?

Just thinking out loud with everybody else.

Investigation needed! local landscapers need to be questioned, they know who hired them to commit the crime.

NOT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP. Go to sumterpa.com and type in Lake Miona. There will be a test on Monday.

How do you know that law enforcement has not already done that? After all, they are trained to investigate crimes.
