A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS!
THIS PAST ''APRIL FOOLS DAY'' WEEK-END WAS A SAD TRAGIC TIME FOR OUR COMMUNITY!---The events and areas affected are listed below in order.
#1--Friday March 31--RV parked in driveway,being loaded for trip--vehicle was ''egged''!
#2--March 31--2 tires slashed on Carnoustie Ct!
#3--March 31--2 more tires slashed on Pebble Beach!
#4-- April 1--2 RV tires slashed & ''egged'' in ''secure'' locked area of RV compound!
#5--April 1--The COPS car and the Fairways van was ''egged''!
#6--an unconfirmed report of 2 tires damaged on a work van, off Pebble Beach!
All of the above is preventable--IF--we had a management structure that truly cared about the residents!
OK--SO--I MAY NOT BE THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT ON THE TREE AND HAVE A BIG MOUTH-- but I ask what could be done to help our NON--SECURED community?
I SAY FOR A STARTER--A COMMON SENSE GATE SECURITY SYSTEM!----OH YEAH --HTA SAID IT'S OUR FAULT--BECAUSE WE VOTED AGAINST THEIR--''DESIGNED TO FAIL'' vote!
NOT SO---I personally believe that HTA does not want ANY MORE restriction for the entrance--our gates have been broken for over 3 weeks!
About 2 years ago--the Fairways had over19 documented burglaries within a 6 month period!--HTA DID NOTHING UNTIL WFTV CHANNEL 9 came into the park and did a damning story on the recorded crimes!
Then --HTA did what should have been done much earlier-----They hired off-duty Sheriff deputies to come in and roam the park at odd hours, with their small blinking red and blue, cruise lights!
GUESS WHAT?-- all the crazy crime crap stopped--pronto!
YES---IT DOES COST MONEY TO BRING SOME OF THE EXTRA GOOD GUYS IN HERE!---BUT IT MAY COST HTA MORE, IF SOME MORE BAD TV COVERAGE COMES THEIR WAY--IT MAY BE HARDER TO SELL THEIR $100 K trailers WITH THE $700+ LOT RENTS!
All of the above crimes were reported properly to OCSO!
