The city of New Orleans is seeing an increase in car break-ins, and tourists and locals alike are finding themselves victims.
Justin Brown, a community activist with Empower You NOLA, said the criminals committing these break-ins don't want purses or electronics. They want guns and mainly target pick-up trucks.
"They don't have a trunk to put it in, they don't have a lock box, so that is why they are targeting trucks. It's an easy target," said Brown.
Brown says criminals are smashing windows open and moving quickly. |

| No safe or lockbox can keep someone out who has time and power tools. You don't need a vault, just something secure enough that it's easier to steal the vehicle than to steal from the vehicle. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
