Early Monday morning, tow trucks arrived to haul away two boats left behind on Detroit’s west side. Neighbors wanted the eyesores gone.
Tracking down the previous owner didn’t take a detective. Everyone on the block knew exactly where they came from and how the ended up on the side of the street.
Eric Lee says a demo crew tore down a house a few weeks ago. The boats, along with two cars, were sitting on the lot. He told 7 Action News the cars were hauled away that day, but the crew used a forklift to move the boats to the roadway, where they remained.
Tired of looking at them, neighbors called city hall to have them removed.
