My family decided to see our Tigers play this weekend so we drove the 10 hours to Baton Rouge from Orlando. Once we got there we paid $25 dollars to park at the Chevron on Highland an Roosevelt after being assured that our vehicle was safe. Well obviously it wasn't and we had several pieces of luggage stolen including Laptops and a phone (MacBooks and and an iPhone) out of our Expedition with Florida plates. The Chevron was hesitant to even give us our $25 back, even as LSU grads and lifelong fans I don't think my parents will ever return for a home game in BR after this which sucks because I know how much they used to love coming to them.

The Chevron employees claimed to not know who the manager or owner was when I spoke to them so that was a dead end and I don't know if corporate will be of much assistance.





TL;DR do not park at the Chevron on Highland and Roosevelt because they don't give a frick whether or not your car gets broken into.

That was horribly dumb. Should have taken 20 or so minutes to check in to your hotel and drop off your luggage.

People at the Chevron who took your money and parked you were probably in on it and made you as marks from the jump and called whoever did it. That's why they weren't helpful.

Sucks man, I seriously hate to hear that.

Then keep your arse in Florida.






But seriously, why park in a sketchy place and leave valuables in the car? That's vacationing 101.

They dindu nuffin to your car. They thought it was theirs, just tryin' to get their stuff out because the key didn't work. Poor BR folk, still recovering from Katrina.

Pretty sure no one is looking for parking now. Bump this post next week.

My last smart arse post for the night. Seriously am sorry about your shite getting jacked. Bad enough they robbed you by charging $25 for parking, but then to break into your vehicle was across the line. Hope you didn't have a sex tape or nudes of the Mrs. On your iPad.

Pretty much all of those pay to park spaces on the north side of campus are sketchy as hell. I've seen people selling spots that they have no right to sell at all. Live and learn and don't pay to park in shitty neighborhoods.

Street with a president's name???



Always a sign of a sketchy area in BR


Seriously though......why would you leave valuables in your parked vehicle like that? That's like basic common sense.

The one time we leave stuff in the car this happens, believe me I know how foolish we were.

Still sucks though, sorry that happened to y'all.


Will insurance cover all the losses from the theft?

It probably will but I want to find out what Chevron corporate has to say about it first.
