Default Moving out to Orlando from St. Pete

What's up guys. Some of you may know me from sebring about a year and a half ago, Terry was my instructor who I almost killed lol. Also met Todd, Nick and few of the orlando guys out there. I went with Sean. Anyways I'm moving out there for grad school this upcoming week and just wanted to know how bad is the theft outt there? I've been having nightmares. I will be living in an apartment complex with a gated community and 24hr patrol/security. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Either way I think I'm long overdue for an alarm system.

Thanks Fellas. Look forward to the meets, that's if I'll have time for any

What area of Orlando? Some spots are worse than others. With a gated community it should be fine though but if they have garages available it's worth more than the alarm.

Hope to see you out at some meets soon.

You need a garage, no way around it.

I wish I had the luxury of garaging the car, but I don't. The complex is by mall of millenia.

Not the best area. Any chance you could a cheap daily and just store your S?

Well I actually just found out that my complex does indeed have detached garages for rent. So I'm going to look into that. Supposedly only $50 a month. What do you guys think?

yup. $50 is cheap insurance to rent a garage. the ones in my complex are anywhere from 50-100
