AMEN!!!! It has indeed been very windy here. Thank you for mentioning this possibility.

There indeed could have been kids from the area or from anywhere I suppose. However it could have been Villagers too. We are not all wonderful neighbors.
I have heard some mean people around here and I would not put it past them. Fortunately that is NOT the norm....but it is reality.

Plus it is not always kids! We give kids a bad rap, perhaps because we were all kids once upon a time and apparently know that mischief happens a little more often.

I know a lot of kids in the area and I know a lot of the families in the neighboring communities. They would be very sad if they heard that Villagers thought this way of them. These "kids" are children of the people that work so hard to make The Villages what it is! They are the children of our doctors, our lawn workers, or district govt, our schools staff, our grocery store workers, our hairdressers, our chefs, our rest. servers, our nurses, our Fire Dept., need I go on?

They all live in the family villages or the neighboring communities. I for one appreciate them all because they make The Villages wonderful for us!

What?

No matter where you live, there is always some sort of a crime. TV is not in a bubble and you just have to be aware of this. I'm sure this incident was not done by villagers and we are not a "gated" community, so anyone can come in here day or night.

We must all remember, most private communities or small cities don't have anything like TOTV to rant and rave on. When someone posts a thread about their lawn being mowed too short, their streak being too well done, a restaurants slow service or vandalism everyone knows about it. So when something disturbing does happen it becomes magnified. Supposed your home town had a site like this? If you were aware of everything going on, you may have moved years before you did.

Is the damage the result of a crime, poor workmanship, or the beginning of ground movement? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. "When you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however, improbale, is the truth" sherlock Holmes

Could it be a communist plot?:22yikes:

It could also be one of those there prehistoric birds trying to sit on their lamp posts:D

COULD be! (but that's old fashioned) Or,.......a terriorist plot to scare happy (bubbly) people to reality! :laugh:

and please do keep in mind that isolated incidents do not represent the general over all condition that this is one of the safest communities one could choose to live in with the lowest crime rate.

There is no where one can live where there is no crime.

Referring to pre historic birds "sitting" on the lamp post.....was tha a pun....or a typo?

Vandals
 

What about the video cameras at the gates..? Doesn't that catch on camera who is coming in and out of a Village?

another


sigh.

For sure, those that have a vandals bumper sticker.
