shirtless guy in Seaside? Someone probably called the police.

Maybe same shirtless guy found wandering around Watercolor Inn parking lot last night - trying to find his wife he said while sprawled on trunk of a Lexus.  Police were not called, just in-house security.

There were actually police vehicles at several places. Yes, there were some in Seaside but also in the parking lot of the Village Market and I saw a couple units go into the parking lot of one of the beachside hotels in Seagrove.

There were also two police cars around the Preserve last night about 7 o'clock.  Anyone know what was going on?  They had a car stopped and the trunk open.

This conversation is a bit strange.  Not to long ago everyone was complaining about a lack of law enforcement presence in sowal, it appears that a formidable presence has been stationed in the area and now everyone is questioning that.  And people say I can not be made happy.

:blink:  I don't think anyone is complaining about the police presence.  It seems to me that they were inquiring about the particulars of the crime.

Sounds like the business many locals have been avoiding due to its extreme sketchy factor is finally attracting some overdue public & police attention! :blink:

So if you see a lot of PO PO there must have been a crime?  I always that the presence was a deterrent.

When there are three units with the cherries blazing, two of which are parked illegally, yeah, I am thinking something illegal went down.
