It really bothers me to see the cops going door to door prying open doors, marking walls, and then leaving the homes open and unguarded for the looters.

I was thinking the very same thing as I watched TV today. At one house they left the window wide open! Unfreakin' believable.

They are not disarming now, they are looking for DEAD people. While I watched they had only found one house that had any deceased, they marked it as a dead dog inside.

The MUST remove the DEAD.

Leaving the homes open and marked for looters and other criminals is the entire point of the exercise. Any damage that occurs to the house as a result is the sole responsibility of the owner, not the insurer, who does not protect against either flooding (including rain) or acts of war. New Orleans probably will increase its property tax rates dramatically and assess property based upon a "potential non-storm value" system; in other words, you pay taxes based upon what your home might have been worth if it were not storm damaged--until it's worth more.

they probably marked it and left it open so others would know it was searched for survivors/dead bodies, dont get your panties in a bunch.
