But the world's oldest profession has become so common in Easton that many local residents can actually tell you when and where to pick up a hooker.
That's why the municipal council has come up a proposal that would allow the city to permanently seize the vehicle of anyone caught trying to solicit a prostitute.
Easton police Officials are hoping the measure becomes a law.
"I think it would be a big deterrent if it passed…if you knew it would cost you $20,000, the price of a car," said Easton police Capt. Michael Vangelo.
But those who oppose the plan say there's one over-riding reason why the proposal will not work: they say it's illegal.
They claim the ban on prostitution is a state law, so the state has the responsibility to decide the due punishments for hookers and their clientele.
Gary Asteak, a defense attorney in Easton, says the city's proposal would, in effect, override Pennsylvania law.
"It becomes a draconian penalty. If the state legislature thought it was an appropriate penalty they would have passed it themselves," he said.
City officials plan to vote on the measure at a meeting Wednesday night.
