Our local police department won’t find the car in question, because Boss Hogg has them on other uninpotant things, to try and make him look good, they don’t have time for police work.

Since people pay to park, included in the ticket price, I would think The Henry Ford would have security and cameras in the lot. It is a shame that visitors from different places would have an experience like this in Dearborn. I hope that this negative episode ends in a more positive manor. Lock your cars and don’t leave valuables in sight when parking anywhere. Thieves know that when you visit the museum or village you will be there for hours. An opportunty in the making.

Well, with all the money the police just got to hire more officers, maybe they will be able to actually solve things a tad faster. And maybe actually be able to do pretty much anything faster.

how has the dept reacted slowly??? this doesnt warrant any faster public knowledge than if someone had their loaded escalade stolen…most people in this declining city are way to lazy and scared to get involved in anything, let alone call the dept. stick to what you all do best, (staring out your window, and complaining about hot dogs and paid parking

They were probably so busy writing parking tickets that the criminals drove right by them in the stolen car.

And the fireworks….God help you if you forget the fireworks. The cops were too busy writing parking tickets to make the 4th of July more bearable for the city’s neurotic dogs and feral cats.

And don’t forget sitting behind the bars on Michigan Ave., sitting in lots chatting to each other, taking their sweet time to show up to a car accident or a resident’s complaint, etc.
