Car thefts and break-ins in New Orleans

For a while there were frequent posts about issues with this, but they seem to have died down. How bad is it right now in NOLA? Any of you deal with this recently?

On another note, how early do I have to arrive to get a parking spot in the garage across Rampart from the Saenger?

Still going on.

It’s happening for sure.
But here’s the truth… google says greater NO population is 1.2 million. So let’s say there’s 500,000 cars in the area. That’s less than half the population.
If 10 cars are broken into or stolen each day, then that’s 0.00002% of cars affected daily. So if your car is there every day of the year, you have a 0.007% chance of it being broken into or stolen at some point each year.
Yes, it’s happening.
Yes, it can happen to you.
No, it’s not statistically probable that your car will be affected.

The problem was solved after the DA declined to charge dindus engaging in that activity.

My niece had her car broken into down the street from Wrong Iron last week.

Still having problems with break ins around dome during Saints games according to NOPD officers I spoke with at the last game.

Certainly seems to have died down. Still hearing about windows getting hit, but nowhere near as often.
A year or so back the feds hit some rings that were thought to be the source. Really has mattered.
Carjackings seem to have slowed dramatically as well.

Didn’t hear much about the break ins because I assume people moved on to stealing Kia and Hyundai cars. I think the secret is out for people with those cars: sell your car, move out, hope it gets totaled/never returned, or get wheel lock/software update.
I am sure thugs will just move on to the next thing
Stolen Autos NOLA still being stolen

It’s moved up the interstate into Baton Rouge

No one reports it any more because the NOPD doesn’t answer the phone.
All crime stats go down when the police don’t answer the phone.

Guy on my soccer team had his car stolen in city park a few weeks ago. Same night the Cafe Du Monde in city park was robbed. Coulda been the same guys.

Have not noticed much of a problem recently, or heard people complaining of a big problem. We park on the street near University Medical Center during Saints games without any issues all year. This past game I noticed multiple University police vehicles roaming around the area for protection, which was reassuring.

I don’t know if it really slowed down or everyone just gave up on reporting it.

Im posting this at an internet cafe because my Surface Pro was stolen in New Orleans.

The real answer is NOPD is working with the feds. There’s a heavy presence of federal guys here now targeting the car break ins and they’re doing a great job breaking it up.
There’s still the random break ins, but nothing like it was a year or couple months ago.

the feds did a sweep and slowed it down (a bit)

It’s still happening.
I haven’t heard gunshots nearby since last December though. Things are looking up!
