Scooter in RV park?

Last winter my wife and i had our two Honda Ruckus sitting outside our RV, I had a combination cable lock on them and we had no trouble. we were in a gated RV park, we are going back again this year and taking the Ruck's with us again. They are dead quiet and no one is bothered by them. When we go somewhere we just cable them together when they are parked outside and go inside to shop or eat. No troubles ever. this is near Titusville/Daytona Beach areas. We have had them on the beach in Daytona Beach and we park them and cable lock them to a post and walk the beach or walk out on the pier for a meal, never had a problem.

If it's registured for the street they can't legaly not let you drive it. The park can make an issue if like some motorcycles it's too loud and violates noise rules. Regarding being retired LEO and carry a gun everywhere. I too carry but I know you can not use a gun to protect property that would be excessive force. You can ONLY use a gun to protect your self or some one else from bodily harm.

twotoes, it depends on the state. The property is PRIVATE and the government does NOT maintain the streets, then in most states they can deny the use of any specific motor vehicle on their "private" streets. Also, there are some states that do allow the use of deadly force to protect ones property.

colliehauler: Thanks.

No place is with out crime,even Kansas. :W

Come on down and enjoy our wonderful and diverse state.

There is a lot to see,and the state changes dramatically from north to south and also from coastal to inland.

I not only camped there,

I lived there for my entire adult life. (35 years)

Naples Florida in Southwest Florida is my hometown.

Take normal precautions but don't over think this.

SW Florida has a burglary rate not much higher than Kansas.

Don't believe me, review the crime rates yourself at the U.S. Department Of Justice: Link

That's not very reassuring right now as there is a post of a person having their trailer stolen in Olathe KS. :E

Glad to know it's not a major problem. And yes I believe you.

So you're only 53? Whippersnapper! :B.....;)

Good guess but wrong.

I have attained the high plateau of 62 years.:B

Retired and went full time at 53.

I have read about theft in southern Florida and hope northern Florida is not as bad.

Thanks to all that took the time to reply.

As a Floridian I must protest: Don't believe everything you read.

Of course certain areas of large metro areas have high crime areas but not the entire southern part of the state!

I have camped in SW Florida for over 30 years and NEVER had even one item stolen by humans.

Now raccoons, they are another story for another time.

In all fairness I have not been to Southern Florida. I have to rely on info from people who have.
