The 55-year-old hot dog vendor, who reported his $40,000 cart stolen, emphasized the importance of police responsiveness in the face of rising crime in Brooklyn Heights.
NYPD has acknowledged the rise in robberies within the 84th Precinct, which includes Brooklyn Heights, with incidents up more than 70% compared to last year.
With the hot dog cart theft, the vendor faced additional challenges as the GPS was not accessible to him, indicating a potential flaw in public safety systems.
Despite an increase in various crime categories including robberies and assaults, the Department of Health's delayed response to the vendor's situation raises concerns.
