dream house for sale in Detroit ... " ... proof of funds mandatory for showings. Property sold AS IS, BATVAI. Only shown on sunny days."

It can be yours for only $550K!

edit: just for a bit of context re: the neighbourhood, per wikipedia ...

She told the WSJ CEO Council Conference that in one incident, a casino was hacked through the thermometer in its lobby aquarium ... "The attackers used that to get a foothold in the network," she said.
