The River Oaks District, a new shopping area without a mall to replace the Galleria in Houston for high end stores, has the same robot that was vandalized in San Fransisco patrolling. I think its more show than anything else. Sort of like those call boxes with the blue lights.
I'm somewhat surprised the one in Houston hasn't been stolen.
Once the criminal element in Houston figures out how to make easy money off stealing the robot, it will disappear.
