Indeed, southeast Michigan actually sees more break-ins to American-made vehicles these days. That's just because there are a lot more American-made cars in this region, however, which in turn is merely the result of employer / family / friend loyalty leading naturally to customer loyalty.

There's nothing special about the Detroit area any more, really; it's just a regular city with regular people. You can still see the history if you're looking for it, like entire blocks in the suburbs converted to fields of grass after the residents moved out, but there's also plenty of new construction and economic growth downtown to balance it out. That's what we like to call "normal" here in the real world: people move, money moves, things like that change all the time. No big deal.
