I knew I could count on my long-term commenters to sort it out on their own!

I was already confident of your intent, and it’s the intent that matters.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. I was referring to the color of the police cars.

“…and I fail to understand how my choice of words indicated that.”

Just to help point out why it could indeed be seen the way J_T saw it: A better choice of sentence structure could have been either, “The cars are even a different color” or “The cars are even different colors.”

Your choice of, “Even the cars are a different color” implies that something else of different colors exists…and in my opinion it would have been a clever way of saying it, if that was ones intention, which we now realize it definitely was not.

City of Decatur had a low crime rate for the Metro area even back in the early 1990s when it was less expensive and more diverse in terms of race and income. And folks were frustrated about crime reports that did not distinguish between the City and postal address even back then.
