The above post reminds me of some incidents at one hospital that employed me which was located in one of the roughest parts of Detroit. Hub-caps were frequently stolen from cars in the parking lot even though the parking lot was no more than 50 yards long and right up next to the building. You could sit in the cafeteria and watch them taking the hub caps during lunch. Security guards had cameras but did nothing. Employees complained to administration and a memo was sent out suggesting that employees leave their hub caps in their trunks while at work. For realz?
About two weeks after that memo came out, my co-workers and I were leaving at the end of the day and the spot where one woman's car used to be was empty, save for some broken glass from her driver's side window. She went directly to the administration office and asked whether she was supposed to leave her whole car in her trunk next time or whether they were going to do something about security around the building. They did nothing. In fact, they ended up closing a year or so after that.
