so the owner has decided that we will not do work in Orleans Parish anymore until the crime is under control.


I'm not going to say that he shouldn't hold his breath.

Back in the earlier 2k timeframe I worked for a cell company and there was certain cell towers that or crews would not go to without police support at night. During the day they had to go in pairs so someone could be the lookout and watch the trucks.

During Katrina recovery they hire a security company to escort all staff working in NOLA.

I guess it's back to that level again.

No, it’s not. If that’s your opinion, you’re part of the problem.

That is a variation of the Bubbles and Johnny ladder con from The Wire.



Their con left the victim unaware he was indeed victimized and only thought it was an attempted crime. Bubbles is smarter than NOLA criminals.

I have a relatively small (licensed and insured) roofing and remodeling company. We’re willing to work in the East and just about anywhere in Orleans Parish. The East isn’t where we have had problems, it’s been more so uptown and in gentilly.

Email is ctb504@gmail.com

While one of our crews was on a roof in one of the ‘nice’ areas, uptown, their truck was stolen from right in front of the house. They found it abandoned later that day with about $5k worth of tools missing.

Happy to help anyone in the ‘war zone’.
