When in Detroit...

...do as Detroiters do - be a robbery victim. That's what Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard did:

Ballard had been walking to his hotel after watching a NCAA Final Four basketball tournament game when he stopped to help a man apparently having a seizure, a police report said.

Vane said while the mayor was attempting to aid the man, at least two additional men approached and surrounded Ballard.

Police told WRTV the men, including the individual who had appeared to been having a seizure, fled the scene.

"Almost immediately, Mayor Ballard realized that his phone had been taken," Vane said in a news release.

Hey, at least they let him live. That's more than you can say for a lot of Detroit robbery victims.
