The people they are targeting in Detroit don't care about leases and liens. Most likely the cars are bought cash with whatever money they have on hand. (Avoiding saying the wrong thing)
Nephew worked at a used car lot on Gratiot. I asked how "locals" could afford to buy the cars or even get loans. He said "its all drug money sales".
And what a STUPID waste of time like stated above. My 29yo LEO son in law used to work in Detroit. It was basically WHACK-A-MOLE. I could tell that seeing the worst the city had to offer every single day was making him withdrawn and, ugh, just tough to describe. He got a job policing our neighborhood. $80k/year and gets to protect the neighborhood he lives in. Get to stop by his parents house for dinner. Escorts the kids of families he knows to school. How cool is that. And a MUCH brighter attitude and outlook. I think police should have to LIVE in the city they police like it used to be in Detroit.
