4,330 car burglaries in New Orleans so far this year - and that's down 32% from a year ago via ?

But Rafael Goyeneche, President of the Metropolitan Crime Commission says that number isn’t an accurate representation, with many going unreported.

“Keep in mind we have fewer police officers this year than we had at the same point in time last year. And many of the people who’ve been victimized by automobile burglaries this year have been victimized last year and the year before that. The public knows the manpower crisis in the police department, it’s unlikely the police are going to be able to get there in the foreseeable future so many of the people realize there’s no point in even wasting time to report break ins,” he said.

Exactly what I figured.

Kind of like shoplifting in California. Not reporting it because the cops can’t or won’t do anything about it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

I think it's likely BS. Police don't even show up for this anymore. So they are either dumping the reports or people simply aren't calling it in because they know it's futile.

Juking the stats to show crime reductions to make the interim police chief seem like a decent candidate. This ensures a puppet running the department.

I say this a million times but go watch The Wire on HBO set in Baltimore. Almost the exact thing is happening in N.O. Mayor/Police Chief/News collusion. Although in the past year they seem to have let Zurich off the chain and there has been more reporting with all the travel fraud.

The city just changed the criteria or is purposely not reporting the real amount of crime anymore.

Just anecdotal from driving around, it does seem like the breakins are a lot less.

Not sure the actual reason why though. Maybe the Feds work is finally paying off.

So in reality, it’s probable double the reported number.

Eventually all of the good cars will be stolen and the rate should drop dramatically.

This is like when the cops stop arresting people so they claim that crime is down

Also from this week's MCC report:

We continue to see a substantial (135%) increase in auto theft (as of July 23, 2022, 1,898 auto thefts
vs. 4,394 in 2023).

Unreported.

I’ve witnessed it because I had a client who had his truck burglarized leave downtown without reporting anything
