Car break-ins up 40%?... I'd be willing to bet that number is a lot higher. Some people don't bother to call the police (waste of time). They just cut their lost and pay out of pocket. Also, Cantrell cooks the books when it comes to reporting crime; for example, an incident involving 40 cars with busted windows gets reported as one incident of a car with busted windows because it happened during the same time line of said crime. But it actually resulted in 40 cars being vandelized, it should have been reported as 40 cars being vandelized. This lowers the crime statistics, making New Orleans seem safer than it actually is.

this is senseless
I wonder who did this? Who could it be? Hummmmm. I know...let's TALK about this. That'll solve the problem.
Just put undercovers in those areas at night in civilian attire. Problem solved.
