By the way, did you call the police? If so it will be in the police blotter for Marion county in the Daily Sun. I would have called them. I always read the police blotter. The Sun doesn't write stories about bad deeds generally, but they do put stuff from the police blotter in.

I am just guessin' that the vandalism was a mean retaliation against people who they think got them evicted. Which they should have been evicted. Kids can't live in The Villages under the age of 19. I hope since they are gone, the trouble left with them. Hope so anyway.

Well, it appears the culprits are my neighbors who moved in about a year and a half ago. Him and his wife are about as odd as odd can get. They pulled in their driveway a couple of hours ago and were pointing at our bushes and laughing. He also likes to peek in windows so after finding that out by catching him one morning outside my window, I warned a few of my decent neighbors about him. He retaliated and cut my lights. Time to put up a motion light or a camera...or a For Sale sign.

You should report this individual to the authorities! That being said...I have a friend up north, who has another friend whose been stalked by a neighbor for years. They finally moved---don't know if this is still going on now. BUT the stalker watched every move they made and did some really bizarre things. In this effort--the person reported it and apparently the police told her that there wasn't anything they could do. THAT to me was unacceptable. These types of folks are socio-paths which can escalate to something worse.

BTW...how did you find out it was your "unusual" neighbor????

He sat in his driveway, pointed at the bushes where my lights were and they both started laughing...pretty clear what happened.

It is a real shame that one has to pull up stakes, leave a house they love, and move because of the neighbors. If they are found by the authorities to be doing this, they should move.

Have problem here in SOMD where some people constantly truf the grass along the road. They were told in general terms not to do these things in Community Newsletter, only makes them more want to do it. Keep fixing lawn along road and always ruined.

What does "truf the grass along the road" mean? I am from Maryland and have never heard that term.

As for the laughing neighbor who is also a peeping Tom, that deserves a phone call or personal visit to the Sheriff's office. Pointing and laughing is no proof that he cut the wires but peeping into windows is a crime.

Wow! I live in Silver Lake and I've never seen any graffiti or gangs of teenagers running around. Almost everyone on my street has Christmas decorations out and no one has had a problem.

Turf the grass means that they drive their cars in the grass, tearing up the grass, and leaving tire thread marks.

The graffiti has been mostly on the golf cart bridge. There has also been golf carts being stolen in the middle of the night right out of driveways so make sure your car and cart keys are inside your house.
