does anyone know what happened at the CVS on Jefferson on Tuesday, August 7th? Saw it on my way to work. Looked like someone drove a car deliberately through the doors. |

Apparently that was one of the lazy Detroiters Jt1 was talking about...he decided he'd rather steal a car and crash it through a store window than go stand in line for a job at Walmart |

Wasn't this the same CVS that the fence got stolen from? This kind of stuff has to stop - this is why people look at the city and are hesitant about investing. Where are the cops? |

Good question digital. Where are the cops?? If you look right down the street, the old 5th Precinct is still there. I like how the reader board said "Thank You" (or something) for the longest time. I wonder if it still reads that way? and stealing a fence sounds pretty difficult, but where there's a will........ |

The store manager thinks it was an inside job, something to do with the security guard, he was robbed too, with a gun on his side. Just layed down on the ground with everyone else AND gave them his wallet. |

We talk about all the good things in the city, but I hate to sound like a broken record but it does all come down to security. What's the number one perceived objection I always hear about the city? Security. It's all crime and security when I hear people object about investment, about going down, whatever - and having lived there, there is some truth to it. Not that you're going to automatically get mugged (in fact the opposite), but there is a lot of fear because the police do not respond in all areas in a timely manner, and that has been widely covered in the media. The slow response stories strike a lot of fear - and that fear stems from, "if something does happen to me, no one will help me." That kind of fear, for the majority of the population, is petrifying. |

The hometown paper here two weeks ago reported on a rash of CVS robberies around the Clawson/Madison Heights/Ferndale area. Boy those suburbs are really going down hill aren't they? Where are those lazy cops? People are refusing to work nights there anymore because they are so scared. |

If Ferndale and Madison Heights are being targeted, I'm willing to bet the criminals are from the D. |
