Default Detroit

So I am currently over in Detroit and i must admit it's generally pretty 'awesome'.
You can instantly tell which areas are safe and which are ghetto, ask any American they will tell you Detroit is the most unsafe city in the states.
Well I have been fortunate enough to only have positive experiences myself and I have driven through the hood streets during daytime just to see (8 mile, warren ave, Maddison heights etc..)

But this morning I had a bit of a giggle at someone else expense. A Texan guy arrived to the hotel where I stay last night in his pimped out Dodge Challenger, after doing some drag racing and doughnuts in his car he thought he was the nuts...
Well this morning he woke up to find his car on bricks in the hotel car park!
I joined the fiasco after the commotion of police sirens (2 minute response time is their average btw).
The receptionist showed me the cctv and literally 8 guys in a van pull up and remove all the wheels in 52 seconds! Not bad considering security nuts.
The police mans statement here was "they could have took the car in half that why they only took the wheels is a sign to the jerk off driver". You've got to laugh.
