Seems time to start the watch, even if it's just 2 people that own cell phones, and want to keep our city from turning into a ________.(optional inner ring suburb).
This stuff isn't going to get any better.

While I wish I could make a case for block watch out of this. This would seem to be a crime of opportunity.
This is my parking lot, and Phil Florian's parking lot, parking for Rozi, Party Shoppe, Music Company, Phoenix Coffee, Record Exchange and others. A major cut through for traffic as well, with a bank teller, and bank drive through traffic looking at the lot. No sane person would try to rob anyone there.
I have to think she parked in a blind corner of the lot by Cerny's and NO ONE was around. So I am not sure a block watch would of helped.
But maybe.

Jim already said it best but really, I am stunned. This is as close to a mugging in a crowded room as you can get in these parking lots. Though posted on Fox Wednesday, I have to wonder if this might have happened on Saturday or Sunday. During the week, it is just really really busy. As Jim noted, I share this lot (and building!) with Jim and many others. The Blue Lot in particular is home to New York Life adjusters who are in and out of the lot all day (per description from the City of Lakewood people who hand out parking passes, any way). My co-workers and I are also in and out of that lot all day, as well. Also, half the day (it seems) there is parked (sometimes with driver) the Lakewood Senior Services bus, which has a clear view of the entire lot. Couple that with the fact that most of the lot (though not all) can also be seen by a teller at the Lakewood First Federal Bank drive thru, too. That is about as watched as a lot can be without having a monitor looking at it 'round the clock.
This is seriously amazing. Can we find out when this occured? It might help to know.
