Ergo, its now the city's fault?
I'm not sure how we can comment, despite MoneyGuy's post below, the appropriateness of the cost of investigating. Seems too much? Maybe? Do we know the extent that the investigation went, what was uncovered, etc? It was also referred to police for potential criminal investigation, so that implies at least some level of seriousness to it.
Ultimately, this money would not have been spent....if those expenses would not have been spent.
May not be your intent, but as you can see by other responses to your comments in this thread, it comes across a bit as a "oh hey, don't look at this, look over there instead".
