BATON ROUGE - Investigators at the sheriff's office are warning drivers of burglars targeting people pumping gas after a reported burglary.

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office shared a video showing the thieves pulling up alongside a victim's truck at a Marathon gas station. The passenger in the vehicle reached over and opened the truck door, appearing to rummage around inside.

The suspect's car appears to speed off before the victim even realized what happened. No other details on that crime were immediately available.

Officials say the burglars are often referred to as "Sliders," people who pull up and steal from a vehicle or take the car if the keys are in it.

When i get out my truck even to pump gas, my keys come with me.

When im home for the night my truck doors are locked even though i live in a good neighborhood.

After the videos in NOLA cane out I started to be more aware of it also. But my passenger door would’ve been locked regardless as I usually leave it running and get back in while it’s pumping

This has been going on for decades.

Lock your doors when you pump your gas. Not that hard.

This isn’t a BR thing. Thefts like this happen everywhere and they aren’t new. I hear of things like this in Katy.

Put your keys in your pocket and lock the doors... Simple..

Don't give the piece of shits the opportunity.

Last week in Slidell, a NOLA trained criminal carjacked a guy at a gas station -before he put gas in the vehicle- and drove back into the city.

Of course the stolen vehicle was low on gas because genius couldn’t wait for the victim to gas up, so he exited in the east to a gas station, where he was arrested.

2 mistakes:
1. Wait for your mark to gas up the ride.
2. Initiate crimes in Orleans Parish so there will be no cops looking for you.

I'll say this again:

Every time the question of, "Do you turn off your vehicle when you pump gas?" question appears on the OT in always say, "Yes". It has nothing to do with the possibility of blowing the joint up, and everything to do with with not trusting people. Pull up to the pump, turn the switch, pop gas flap, get out, close and lock doors (even hit the alarm), then pump. I keep my head on a swivel and back to the vehicle, but that's just me, and I really don't trust random arse people at gas stations.

Would have been written better if it was "After a reported burglary, Investigators...."

As it reads, it sounds like a burglary is happening, then people are being targeted.


I'm probably over analyzing this.
