New York woman visiting Detroit falls victim to crime

That security guy is more interested in looking at women's behinds thatn actually doing security. Seems like a nice guy, but not entirely focused on the task at hand at times. And calling him head of security is a stretch; he is usually checking IDs. Don't really consider that "security".

For as much business as that block gets, they should provide roving security patrols around the adjacent blocks to deter property crime as well as this type violent crime. Parking your car anywhere in that area is always a gamble.

That is why you should NEVER go the ghettoes of Detroit ALONE at night! Lot of Yahoos watching their victims like prey, attack and away before the police can come to rescue. Detroit is not New York City.

Yes, some form of broad spectrum private patrol is needed. I've gone to Union Street alone a night a few times to meet friends [[may need to rethink that). I have used that Bank of America ATM during the day and they at least have an armed security guard that monitors their lot sometimes.

You have the MSU Detroit Center building nearby which hosts events into the late evenings sometimes; Orchestra Hall, The Maxx etc. This kind of brazen criminality needs to be addressed fast.
