LaPlace residents say strangers looting houses ~AdvocateTwo weeks after Hurricane Isaac surprised LaPlace residents, many have turned from cleaning up flooded homes to trying to cope with “strangers” they see prowling their neighborhoods while loading up trucks with couches, lawn mowers, appliances, television sets and just about anything else of value they can haul away.
“That has been the biggest problem or call for service we have had to deal with since the storm,” Sheriff Mike Trege said.

So, who wants to talk a little 2013 draft? Hey, look at the bright side. With a top-5 pick, the Saints might end up having a shot at Barkevious Mingo. Nice! Of course, if they're smart, they'll trade down. After all, clearly they're gonna need at least two safeties, a corner, two offensive tackles, two wideouts, two linebackers, a defensive end and a quarterback. 
Make it happen, Loomis!
