re: Thieves Getting Bold: Thief caught on camera after break-in at gated community (BR)

Calling 5 pages at least in this thread

Well I did have some Intruders on my property recently they dug up some vegetables my Ole lady planted and I shot them with my AR

They were Hogs

Sure it is. I'm really putting myself out there.

Is that cat wearing a pair of Capri's? Goatee & Capri's, with a skull stocking? Goddamn who's dressing these people?

You wanna "buy out" the ghetto? Where do you expect them to go? Another ghetto?

I've seen this happen on a much smaller scale. But the land owners who were developing a new residential area also owned land near the area being developed that was somewhat "shady". It was a trailer park that houses maybe 30 something families and one day they just sent a letter to the people telling them they had 90 days to relocate and would be removing the trailers from the land.. They had to find somewhere else to live.

Happens in CCL also. Guy stood up at our HOA meeting whenever everyone was complaining about crime near Bluebonnet/Nicholson area. He said when he lived in CCL, there had been multiple break ins and a car stolen. His point was no matter the amount of security, the thieves will find a way.

I was actually just having this conversation with a friend the other day. I used to live in CCL. And yes, these things have happened. I know of the bold happening explicitly. It was a stupid young kid, who had a parent that lived there. He was caught, when they asked why he took the car, his response was he was bored and hated his mom. He wanted to go see his dad. Horrible logic from a dumbass, but that is why he says he did it.

YES, there is "crime" in that subdivision. But unlike most every other part of Baton Rouge, it is done by unarmed, spoiled little brats (who check for unlocked car doors). Very low likelihood of getting shot, beat down, or mugged by confronting the perp and a high likelihood of getting your stuff back undamaged. Also, to the best of my knowledge, I have never heard of a break in, robbery, mugging, home invasion,... happening in the 19 years I lived there. I can only attest to 3 events that I know off.

1) the car theft
2) a camera stolen out of an unlocked car in my driveway
3) kids stealing beer and cigs from the golf snack bar

NOT EXCUSING any of it. Just saying, while it may occur everywhere, including CCL, it is definitely not as widespread and / or violent as it is in the rest of the city. Hell, a man was shot (in the arse) in his driveway a couple weeks ago in an attempted robbery while he was walking his dog, in a subdivision less than half a mile from CCL.

TL;DR: crime happens everywhere! Some places however, have much less risk for violent crime and home invasions.

It was caught on video, but it never aired.
