I was trying to find a link for where the spirit of Detroit footprints were found going to the Naked Lady Statue (I think for Gas), but my google searches failed to find it.

Too bad, it was funny.

From my feeble memory. One morning there were painted footprints for the Spirit of Detroit statue (Man) to a the Gas Lady (naked woman) just across the street (I think Woodward). No one was was ever charged but understand a bunch of students helped the police clean it up.

Wow, that is way to do a prank, and the correct non response from the city.

Agreed, police responses should be proportional to the threat. Personally I think the Detroit riot of 67 could have been prevented if police had ignored the party in the blind pig for that one night and taken it up with the owner the next day. That's not to blame the police, as I recall the owner admitted that he was at least partially responsible because he incited the growing crowd and threw the first bottle.
