Mean while, unknown to the residents, three doors down was a man who was on California's Most wanted list for Child molestation, and being a non-paying Delinquent father. AFTER he skipped town, the police were catchung up to him, we found out that he was the real threat in our community. The ones you know about are less of a threat than the ones you Don't. Also, we had another case where the molestor was "caught" in the public Pool. the police were called and the three children who complained (and their Parents) were discounted because it was the word of children against the word of " a respected long time resident", After the fact he continued to stay at the pool in his brief speedos, and "later" ended up getting sued for embezzling the Bingo funds. THIS particular PITA is still with us. (By the way his wife works for the management company, and she purged the records of all "negative events". Jeffery G.
