For those wondering about the cameras, there was scaffolding on Laight St. for ages and the line of sight to the cars was blocked. You could only see the sidewalk. In my case, the Dr. did his dirty work on the street facing side. To make matters worse, a couple of us work at the non-profit on the street. I do not own a luxury car and yet he stilled egged it (2x) and also sparky painted it pink/keyed. At first I wondered if someone on our small team had a vendetta against me when it was just the eggings but I only drove in once in a blue moon and didn’t think anyone knew I even had my old car still ha. The bigger vandalism was the last straw for me. Now I’m pissed he only had to pay $300! Alas, thankfully my insurance footed most of the bill, but realizing that my deductible, paid for with my NP salary, was the same amount as his little fine just adds salt to the wound. Hopefully they release his name when the case is closed so that we can at least get restitution in other ways. — Another Victom on Crimes and misdemeanors on Vestry Street

$9.34 per passenger? That's a deal. Amtrak losses ranged from nearly $5 to $462 per passenger, depending upon the line, and averaged $32 per passenger and these are not even up to date figures! — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Alec Baldwin caught in Statue ferry scam

Unfortunately, all the building mounted cameras on Laight St only capture the passenger side on vehicles. This well educated Physician apparently deduced this obvious fact and confined his keying actions to the drivers side of his victims cars. — Victimized on Crimes and misdemeanors on Vestry Street

While this is appalling, the criminal justice system does not treat non-violent crime the same way it does violent offenses, for reasons that have to do with budgetary constraints and budget cuts over many years (I was an executive in a major criminal justice agency when these cuts were happening). We simply can’t afford to incarcerate everyone, try as we do. There are sentencing guidelines that staff must adhere to. I have often said that, if one commits the right level of non-violent crime, the system can’t afford to do anything to you, which seems to be the case here. I would put cameras up and down the street and see if folks can sue in civil court. Just appalling. — A. on Crimes and misdemeanors on Vestry Street

There are literally surveillance cameras on every street, how were they not used in any of these cases? — Justice on Crimes and misdemeanors on Vestry Street

I LOVE this sculpture and miss it terribly. I too had inquired earlier this year and was told that the fountain was being repaired and so they took the opportunity to refurbish the sculpture as well, but that it would definitely return. I'm hoping it does and soon! — Luis Vazuquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening with the Jeff Koons sculpture at 7 WTC?

Exactly! — SW on Maison Kayser on Harrison is closed

I think it’s meant to be “I want to thank you” by Alicia Myers. A big song from that period and played a lot by dj Larry Levan at Paradise Garage. — Em on Nosy Neighbor: What’s this on the side of Pier 40?
