Villageflorida. You remind me of one of the funny experiences I saw in NY City when I worked there for a number of years. First by the WT Towers and then up on Third Avenue.
On the lower side by the towers we had the need to call in some Price Waterhouse Accountants to perform some audits. One drove his VW Bug from Texas and the first day parked it on the street outside the building. When he returned at the end of the day his radio and hifi were gone. He came in the next day and said it was OK as they got what they wanted. We had warned him to use one of the garages near by. When he went out the next day they had taken his tires, his fendors and some other parts they could sell. They completely stripped his car. It was a shame.
We use to tell visitors to follow 3 rules in the City. (a) If you see something going down just keep walking, (b) if the street does not look right it probably isn't and to take another street and (c) avoid eye to eye contact as some consider that threatening. If they follow those rules they will never get in trouble.
