A handful of Sewell Corvettes were also gone, and as recently as last week an NOPD officer at Harrah's was seen driving a black Corvette with a dealer's sticker in the windshield.

And nothing can be done????

Another point in the article that was interesting:

Nevertheless, Stead stressed that neither he nor any other Sewell employee requested a formal investigation from any law enforcement agency.

"The attorney general's office contacted us, we did not contact them," he said. "Please make that clear because I have to live here, you know."

Sounds to me like the local "Mafia" is made up somewhat of the local law enforcement... And who doesn't believe that the "honorable" (hack, cough, puke) Mayor Nagin is part of the problem?

Yeah, there was a story on CNN yesterday about some cops holed up in the tenth floor of a hotel and the hotel manager said that they spent a few days there, drinking and partying, leaving the hotel around 10:30 pm, and getting back at 4:30 am, loaded up with stuff--electronics, luxury items etc.

Someone else who had seen the cops doing this refused to make a report and I got the feeling that this manager was pretty brave to come forward with the story.

The fear of retribution is the reason only 25% of all murder cases are "solved" -- people are afraid to press charges and/or testify. Fear of violence and vandalism against them keeps honest victims silent. That is the "cost" for living in a city like New Orleans. Sad, but true. And, it is not something new.
