Stolen Trailer

Would be great for people that ship there gear to races also. Some companies actually use an Iphone and ship it with an expensive item. (find my Iphone)

The GPS unit is small enough but it would be cooler yet if they could ping those RFID units. Those could be put in every boat. Useless if they don't ever get scanned.

This topic on micro GPS devices could be very productive ....lets keep this going.
We can all keep looking and maybe even get bulk pricing on the perfect unit.
No sense getting them unless it can send a good strong signals immediately
after a theft like mine.

Geesh Ken. You sure know how to pick a place to stay! There was a fatal shooting at your hotel just the other day...

Goes without saying, but I would stay the hell away from that side of town.

[ray schrauwen]

Yep. They gave that hotel a facelift however the area isn't great. I won't stay there anymore because of some shenanigans 3 years ago. I drive a little further south to the other red roof, always a quiet sleep and yer stuff is right outside your door.

Sorry, I have no good news finding anything yet Ken.

Jeez. Detroit is such a sh*t hole. Those corrupt mayors of theirs surely turned it into a 3rd world country probably worse than Mexico and Africa...

[T.S.Davis]

Downtown is coming back but that's a small area. Outside of that is what I call the donut of despair. Not even light can escape. If you look out the windows of the renasance center building there is a band around the city with no lights. You don't want to be there.

The Suites where Ken was is over by the airport. Romulus isn't even part if Detroit. The location where the tailer was found is called Mexican Town. That IS part of Detroit.

Donut of despair, sad. Are their Romulans in Romulus? Better than Klingon's.

[T.S.Davis]

Yes Ray. Sometimes I call them Romulites. I have a number of buildings we maintain down there. I had no idea there was a criminal elliment. I guess every city has that.

Thx for your diligence Ray,
and thx to everyone else for you time and support.

Not sure if anyone knows how much time Terry, Todd Fleury and the MMEU Club
has spent trying to help me. I really appreciate them.
Thx :)

A bit insulting to people who live here... coming from someone whose probably never been here.
I realize there is probably no crime in CA, but let's get down off that high horse.

I have to live there to know what it's like over there?

I have numerous friends who have simply driven through it... basically a Pro tip of common consensus was to never to stop on red lights or stop signs (at night?). You have to be strapped with an AK47 at all times because there's no police there either.

[T.S.Davis]

I'm not going to get into pissing match over it but Dave's right. You don't really know what you're talking about. I do a ton of work down there and I dont own an AK47. It's like every major city. It's easy to get yourself into sketchy areas if your ignorant. There are major investors dropping billions (with B) into down town. It is coming back. Taking forever though.

Ken's misfortune had nothing to do with Detroit's blight. The airport/Romulus is many miles away.

[T.S.Davis]

By the way. For those concerned. The actual Michigan Cup race is 30 miles from Detroit. It's out in the woods. Ridiculously so. Think off of a two track. Romulus is about 13 miles out of Detroit. More like a suburb.

Detroit is around 139 square miles with a population below a million. People that live in what I call "down town" are all yuppies. Companies like Amazon, Compuware, Quicken Loans all have a presence and employ the yupsters. I've helped refurbish buildings where a developer bought an entire city block and turned all the old high rise building into loft apartments. Exposed 100 year old brick construction. Cool stuff. It's all kind of exciting. Useless trivia. There's a brand new massive Redwing arena under construction. New mass transit underway. Getting all this to trickle out? Might never happen. I think Chicago has the same kind of trouble. Downtown is cool. Just stay away from the edges.

It is out in the middle of friggin no-where, and just an FYI, a lot of the racers leave their boats /equipment under their canopies at night with no issues other than some dew to contend with in the morning.

Its very remote and safe.
