I think it is very sad that people steal and take advantage of people who have had this devasting thing happen to them. I have family in Metarie, and they are currently repairing there home/store which had about 4-6 ft. of water in it. They are living in a travel trailer placed in there yard until there house is finished. They are older and did not want to leave there home. They have had total strangers come up to them and ask them if they could take pictures of their house and with them. I guess these people are tourist and think they are at Disney World. Don't get my wrong my family there has ventured out to other parts of the city to see the damage and took pics for us to see what has happened to our favorite city and there scarpbooks, but they were for respectfull to those who have lost everything. My great-aunt even stop and offered a shoulder to cry on for some of the people who were davasted of what they saw what was left of there homes. |
