Can you fix it to say "Warning to criminals", instead of visitors?

Such a sign should be welcoming to visitors.

Florida's Crime Rate Continues To Drop

(CBS4/AP) TALLAHASSEE Governor Jeb Bush is boasting about the state’s crime statistics, citing a drop in crime for the 14th straight year, according to a report compiled by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Florida's crime rate dropped for the 14th straight year in 2005 to its lowest mark since 1971 because of tougher laws, increased financial support from the Legislature and law-abiding citizens with guns, the governor said Tuesday.

"This report shows that staying tough on crime works," said Bush. "Law abiding citizens that have guns for protection actually probably are part of the reason we have a lower crime rate."
