NOLA article on the victim who was released out of ICA with a fractured skull
After showing two Mid-City houses to potential buyers and going to lunch with her husband on Tuesday, Realtor Kelleye Rhein stopped at the Costco Wholesale off South Carrollton Avenue to buy gas.
It was just before 3 p.m. She’d filled up at that same Costco a “million” times.
But as she pumped gas from the passenger side of her SUV, a thief slipped behind the wheel and drove off.
Rhein was dragged across the parking lot and left bloodied and semi-conscious. She suffered a fractured skull and vertebrae, a broken cheekbone and abrasions down the right side of her body.
“I’m pretty beat up,” Rhein, 45, said after arriving home, noting that her hair was still matted with blood. “There are marks all along my body and face. I’m feeling rough, but I’m alive — that’s the good news.”
The SUV’s wheels didn’t run over her, she said. She sustained her injuries from being knocked down and dragged by her own vehicle an estimated 40 feet to the exit of the Costco lot.
Police recovered Rhein’s stolen SUV later Tuesday in the 1400 block of Lafitte Avenue, near the intersection of Orleans and North Claiborne Avenue. The rearview mirror had been torn out, but otherwise it appeared undamaged, Jason Rhein said. His wife's purse, wallet and cellphone were gone, but her laptop was still in the vehicle.
“We love our city, we love the people and the relationships that we’ve built here, and we’d hate to think of losing that,” Jason Rhein said. “But when you can’t feel safe even going to pump gas at Costco at 3 in the afternoon without the fear of getting carjacked, that makes you second-guess things.”

Well the retard mayor and her police chief that can barely form coherent sentences said they have a plan. So things should improve any day now.

When did this thread become about Baton Rouge?

I don’t know why anyone puts up with this crap. You shouldn’t have to be that worried about being carjacked, mugged, or shot.
I’d seriously consider selling and moving to Jefferson Parish or the north shore if this happened to me or someone in my family.

Where would you move if this happened to you in Jefferson Parish?

Gotta leave NOLA and surrounding area completely. Probably leave LA completely. I’m ready to leave LA

Would be the only real solution

Looking to leave NOLA. Have two businesses here and lots keeping me tied down. As soon as I can find someone to take over the physical office space I’m out.

Bruh, your city was lost to criminals many years ago. It's not even a "battle" anymore. You lost.

They are when they actually break down the numbers of what it cost to live in NO vs somewhere 40-60 miles north of that shite stain on America.

New Orleans is what it looks like when doped up mother frickers come at innocents with guns blazing like it’s a Black Hawk they’re trying to take down.

Dr. says she's leaving New Orleans after helping badly injured carjacking victim at Costco
She and her physician husband love the city, the culture, their children's school, they have successful medical practices, her friends and family are all here, but this was the final straw. They have decided to move. They don't feel safe at home after her neighbor was carjacked moving her garbage can.

always turn my vehicle off at the pump. I do it not because I'm concerned with blowing the joint up, but because I always lock my doors when at the pump. Pull up, turn off the ignition, pop the gas tank cover, lock doors with the beep for the alarm, and then pump gas.
Same.

According to the NOPD, there are currently about 1,054 officers on the rolls in a department built for 1,600.
Glasser says if you factor in the number of personnel assigned to administrative duties or who are out sick with covid, the number drops to only about 900 officers.
“It’s unfortunate that as people come to roll calls and they see fewer and fewer people working with them, the workload goes up and the safety goes down. Their ability to function properly goes down.”
The NOPD lost 150 officers last year.
At the same time, there were only 40 new hires.
"The NOPD has already lost about 20 officers so far this year."
Jesus its Feb. 2, 2022 and they already lost 20 officers for the month of January??? If that rate continues it means the NOPD could lose 240 officers in 2022 on top of the 150 it lost in 2021.

I would imagine a lot wait to retire until the 1st of the year. Get their entire next year of vacay.
Doesn't minimize the loss, but it doesn't extrapolate.
And yes, this was discussed a couple weeks ago. Believe the statement by representatives was "We are likely to hit 800 before we hit 1000"

New Orleans is Mrs. Benson’s mercy away from basically becoming Nassau/Jackson. Sad state of affairs.

Will we start seeing companies providing better security to protect its customers?
If people don't feel safe going to your business you will eventually have two options. Close it or take some type of security measures that are more aggressive.
