I'm surprised that Ms. Tutt worded her announcement, that basically the case is closed, over, done.
She could have said: "Further investigation will be based on leads, should they materialize".
Semantics I know, but it would have seemed The District/The Police haven't "thrown in the towel".

It was the OP who stated "case closed" not Janet Tutt.

Can't argue with that.

Probably especially to people that live in Bridgeport at Lake Miona.

IMHO Inspector Clouseau could have easily solved this one.

Could there be pole-it-ikal pressures/reasons behind the case being closed or at least inactivated?

But WHAT kind of politics? WHO stands to gain? I don't see anything but I am not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. WHO would stand to gain except the people who wanted clear space behind their homes to the water????

WHO?

Oh yes Bear, I am serious!! Only four homeowners derived any benefit from this crime, yet the powers that be have chosen to fine all of us. That is arbitrary and unjust. And since they are going to be arbitrary anyway, lets just be arbitrary against the only four homeowners who benefited (and just maybe someone will squeal). Wadda think Bear man?

We weren't fined. We are the district. Just like if we lived in Tarmack Texas and some goat ate the the water fountain in the square. They would replace it and we the Tarmackers would pay.

What gracie said. We weren't fined. Just because you're angry and want to call it that doesn't make it true.

Agree Gracie. The Sumter County Sheriff's Department did investigate but could not get any evidence. No one would talk or claimed they did not see and knew nothing. Sad situation.

I live in a small isolated village that has fewer houses than Bridgeport at Lake Miona.

At the other end, three streets down, they could be sawing each other legs off and we wouldn't hear it or see it, they back to the golf course and to the preserve..

If pressed we would likely KNOW who would be the leg sawers but we couldn't PROVE it.

My apologies to my neighbors, none of which look or act like the could do any heinous act.

You are right, of course, Gracie, but then again WE didn't decide to fine US....THEY did. Where is Solomon when you need him?

What happened to the generation of people that took personal responsibility for themselves? You know, the generation that worked hard, and saved their money so that they could enjoy their retirement without being a burden on other people.

How about the neighbors that are always looking out for one another? The ones that keep an eye on each other's home all day, everyday? The retired people that never miss a trick?

IMO: these people are no different than welfare cheats who want others to pay their way.
