Man tracks down his own stolen car, says NOPD was too late and JPSO said he was on his own

When Thad McIntyre parked his SUV on Burgundy Street, near his New Orleans home in the Marigny Saturday, he figured that’s where it would stay.

Then, Sunday happened.

“As we were walking past, something just didn’t feel right. I’m like, ‘My vehicle was supposed to be right here,’” McIntyre said.

Thinking it may have gotten towed, McIntyre used an app to track it down. That brought him to a skate park under Interstate 610, but no luck finding his SUV. That’s when he called police to report it stolen.

“They were going to send them out to the house to fill out the report and it just got too late,” McIntrye said.

McIntyre says NOPD eventually called back around 11:30 Sunday night.

“This is officer Davis with the New Orleans Police Department calling in regards to a vehicle theft. If you still need to complete that report with us, you can do so by calling 504-821-2222,” said the person who left the voicemail, identifying them self as Officer Davis.

When McIntyre woke up Monday morning though, he checked the app again.

“Lo and behold, the vehicle was at a different location,” McIntyre said.

According to the app, McIntyre’s SUV was on Rencopas Court in Jefferson Parish. When he got there, he found it parked outside of an abandoned house.

“My car was filthy,” McIntyre said. “It looked like they had been down dirt roads and went mudding.”
