Visiting Detroit Ends in Stereotypical Fashion

[Gistok]

Some of the vandalism has gone to absurd lengths... on the far east side [[near Balduck Park) thieves are even stealing flowers. My mother had 2 hanging baskets stolen from her front porch, and the neighbor across the street had Geraniums stolen from 2 cement planters... they left the heavy planters and just stole the rooted flowers. Another had a hanging Boston Fern stolen.

One neighbor thinks that these items were stolen by folks delivering the handbills/leaflets and exchanged/sold for drugs.

I saw a hand-painted sign not too far from Balduck complaining about a flower theft. Corner of Harper and Marseilles, IIRC.
