      And you know there are not any cameras there how? Not sure who owns the parking lot either, but I guess it is cool to call the City stupid anyway, for not, or maybe not having cameras there. That property is most likely owned by an investment corp that also owns the building. I doubt the City has the finds to own all the businesses and lots in town.
