Victim finds own stolen truck, NOPD missed a few things

George Peake's week ended on a sour note. As the contractor walked out of his house on Thursday evening, someone else was speeding off in his truck.
“I chased it down the street about two blocks while calling 911 waiting for the police to pick up,” said Peake.
He says he lost track of the car, and after several hours was finally able to file a report with NOPD – in which he told police he thinks he might have dropped his keys near the vehicle the day before.
Just over 24 hours later, while Peake was out running errands, he happened to run across his truck at a gas station on the corner of St. Claude and Franklin Avenue. He says that's when things got even more interesting.
“They speed away. We follow it, and they ditch the truck around the corner,” said Peake. “I get in the car and drive it back to my house to call the police.”
quote:
Peake says police came out for a second time to get information from him, and officers with the crime lab spent an hour combing through the trucks for prints. He says he thought that was the end to this ordeal. Then Saturday morning came, and Peake was cleaning out his car to prep it for a detailed wash.
“I thought there was a tape measure right here in the backseat pocket. I reached down to grab it, pulled it out, realized it was a gun and sat it down on the floor,” said Peake.
Peake says he also found a marijuana joint on the floorboard near the door.
quote:
Peake contacted WDSU late Monday evening to say the truck thieves returned. He said just before 9 p.m., he heard the truck’s engine start. He says he got outside just in time to see someone plowing through his back gate and taking off down the road in the truck. At last check, Peake was waiting on NOPD to get to his residence.

So his truck was stolen twice? Insurance company is going to love this.

So you want the Police to start going through every part of the vehicle?

Could be worse, he could have had his truck not stolen and have to live in BR

His van again, apparently.

Yes, but they should have found the bullets only (the second time).

Doesn't sound like he's got a car alarm either.

Wouldn't that be the first step in an investigation? It's not like the guy found the gun in a hidden compartment, sounds like it was in the door pocket.

Either they REALLY liked the truck, or the dude has "STEALME" vanity plates.

So he got the truck back the first time...why was NOPD supposed to search every crook and cranny of the truck if nothing seemed out of the ordinary?

the backseat pocket is a very unnoticeable compartment

They spent an hour looking for prints yet couldn't find a gun? ok.
And the truck owner is an idiot for leaving keys in the truck. Did he leave the keys in the truck for it to be stolen again???

I had my truck stolen and recovered once.....they didnt search my truck for a gun, drugs or anything. All they did was dust for prints. I had a gun in the car that was my own, they asked to me check and make sure it hadnt been fired and that was the extent of their search.

Article I read earlier this morning said that. Plus how was it stolen yet a second time?
