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 have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
