Colorado Leads the Nation in Car Theft, Help Protect Yourself!
Published on January 26, 2023
Driveby shootings, drug trade, and violent crime. Those sinister offenses are all connected to you when your car is stolen.
When a violent felon rips your vehicle, they're using it as cover to commit dangerous crimes--and that license plate attached to your rig means everything they do, from burglary to shootings, to drug crimes is registered under your name.
Colorado leads the nation in stolen vehicles. When you're the victim, the crime goes far deeper than someone joyriding
in a Honda Accord. There's no joy in it at all. People could suffer and damage could be done to others and your vehicle. Even if your car is recovered, it won't be the same. It will likely have taken a beating and there will be little comfort in the recovery.
Think it can't happen to you? Colorado leads the nation in car theft and most crimes occur in the morning when individuals are warming up their vehicles in their driveway. While it may be a bit inconvenient to drive when it's cold, it's a small price to pay to prevent criminals from using your car as a vehicle to commit violent crimes.
Lock your car
Take your keys
Take your belongings
Don't leave your car running and unattended
