Never give money to anyone. Some homeless even get in on the act as a front to the attacker.

I had a girlfriend visit from Toronto back in the early 2000s. She parked on Alexandrine. We hit Majestic, then decided to check out a few other places with my car. When we got back later that night, they had smashed two of her windows. The brick was still on her passenger seat. She keeps it as a souvenir to this day. She took in in stride being a previous Windsorite and familiar with our lawless ways.
Well it's probably the safest neighborhood in the city. The safest area in the city would be the inside of any of the 3 casinos. Those are like Fort Knox...which just demonstrates, if we really want to get serious about security, there is a way.
In other news a serial rapist is targeting young women in East Lansing for the 3rd time in the month. One time was at 3 am, the other time at midnight, and now this one -- brazenly -- at 8pm.
Always be on guard, and always be prepared. The world is getting rough out there.
Yep, Detroit standards tolerate a great deal.
UPDATE!
DPD releases photo of suspect in crimes against New York woman
This poor woman was totally caught off guard. New Yorkers have a keen street sense when it comes to being aware of their surroundings. Many muggings, pickpocketing, etc occurred in New York for many years. I don't let my visiting guest from out of town go anywhere without me especially at night. I hope that the FBI seriously get involved being that this was also a kidnapping
New York City invest in their public safety while Detroit especially council take away money through budget cuts. Bing had been soft on crime in Detroit while criticizing New York's Mayor Bloomberg's stop and frisk policy. Having Wayne State to walk the beat in the midtown area is an excellent ideal. Some could be on bicycles as well.
Yes, and the criminals KNOW this and seek to catch you 'off gaurd' in order to strike. And of course they justify their actions!
That's an apples and oranges comparison though. Most WSU students do not live on or around campus, it's a commuter school. Nearly all of UofM's students live on or near campus.
And you shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that reported crime rates reflect the actual realities of crime in an area. How many property crimes go unreported in Detroit just because people know the DPD isn't going to do anything about it anyways? If someone breaks your car window in Ann Arbor, AAPD or UM DPS will come to you and take a report. Would the same be true in Detroit? Of course not, you'd have to go to the police station and file the report yourself, and even then, they won't act on it.
