Does not take any responsibility for major security failures that are completely unacceptable and will try to argue they are not responsible but such a major failure is on them. The reason this community is not safe is because thiefs had hours to jack up my car and steal parts. They were not just cut off but fully uninstalled. A shop said it would have took hours for on jacks. So they had 2-3 hours to jack up a car and steal parts. How does there supposed drive thru security patrol not see and... stop this? 2-3 hours is a massive amount of time and honestly it is about 20% of the time they patrol. A community that asks for premium rent can't have a patrol that can patrol for at least 85% of the night? That's completely absurd and totally unacceptable. The community will not do anything to make to it right as that doesnt seem to be an issue to them. Stay away and avoid this community if you value your property.
