Prostitution in Glenwood?


Over the last few months my wife and I have noticed to constant characters roaming Haywood, Highland, Gregory and Silver primarily. These two ladies appear to be out for strolls looking for rides in exchange for cash. In two cases, we have seen one of them (pic above) get picked up and dropped off - once in a business vehicle for a window repair company! Now I've seen the Dateline shows where the guy follows pimps and prostitutes around his neighborhood and videotapes them for the police and I don't think I'm ready to do that, but this appears to be prostitution and it is not appropriate for Glenwood or any neighborhood. I watched her walk down Haywood deposit an overly large blue bag at a yellow house at the corner of Silver and Haywood and then resume to walk back on Haywood up Gregory and then down Union. I did call the police during this time and I did point her out to the police when he came by but I'm not sure they can do anything except take note of her appearance in case they catch her in the future. The bottom line is I'm going to call the police whenever I see these two ladies in an effort to let them know that this sort of activity is not welcome even if they do live in the neighborhood. When I mentioned to the lady before that we do not want prostitution in this neighborhood, she responded "That's fine. I don't care. I live in the neighborhood."

There is another problem I'm now aware of. Most "customers" are not going to drive and get services at the same time. I saw a man stop right in front of my house(near Glenwood) and then the passenger started moving her face in this guy's lap. I have 8,5, and 4 year olds that could have seen this. I got in my car and followed them to Grove St where he let her out. I tried to follow him, but he started speeding so I quit. Along with calling the police, I'd suggest video recording.
