As we return to the resort for the season, a few reminders to allow us to be safe and secure during our stay: On the security front, don’t be an easy victim: Keep your door, storage compartments, and vehicles locked during the night or when you are away from your lot. Lock items like bicycles to something secure on your lot when not in use. Heavy “D” style locks have proven to foil most bicycle thefts in the resort, these are now available at the ORPS Store. They are not inexpensive, but worth the investment if you value your bike. Our security feels that your bikes are better stored in front of your rig or on your patio where they are not “hidden” in the back. and the security officers on night patrol. If you are on the wall, put a motion activated security light at the back of your lot. The ORPS Store carries solar powered security lights and LED strings for your palm trees. Keep your porch light or a small outdoor lamp illuminated during the nighttime hours Keep your passenger vehicle key fob within easy access during the nighttime hours, if you feel threatened or need assistance, activate the alarm feature, this should attract attention and/ or scare off any unwanted intruders. ON THE SAFETY FRONT: When walking at night, carry a lit flashlight or other light source and walk facing any oncoming vehicles, ensuring that you will be seen or see the car approaching. If you bike at night, make sure that your bicycle is equipped with a visible light source. Remember, state DMV rules apply inside of ORPS: all drivers of vehicles and golf carts must be licensed and helmet laws are applicable to motorcycles and scooters. Control your speed below or at our 10 MPH limit : we have many walkers, bikers, and slow moving Install rope lights on your driveway palm tree: these provide light for walkers
