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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
