Denver In Top 20 For Auto Theft

By Mark Olsen on March 9, 2021

Data is showing that since the COVID-19 pandemic, crime overall has declined. They are attributing it to people sheltering at home. Auto theft, however has increased significantly in some cities. The reported loss annually is about $6 billion, totaling nearly 750,000 vehicles. This may be due to people not checking on their parked cars as often and the rise in unemployment rates.

Sadly Denver, Colorado is ranked at number 16 for most vehicles stollen per capita for the last three years.

Motor vehicle theft rate: 738 per 100,000 people

Average annual motor vehicle thefts: 5,376

Overall property theft rate: 3,643 per 100,000 people

Violent crime rate: 709 per 100,000 people

This data shows Denver is several times higher than the national vehicle theft rate of 228 per 100,000 people. As we know, Colorado Springs is not too far from our state’s capitol, so please be diligent in keeping your cars out of harms way.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, here are some tips to avoid car theft.

  1. Park in well-lit areas
  2. Don’t make your car a desirable target. Avoid leaving phones, purses, garage door openers and other important items visible through the windows
  3. Close your windows completely
  4. Invest in a tracking system

The NICB also listed these as the top 10 types of cars stollen.

  1. Ford Pickup (Full Size)
  2. Honda Civic
  3. Chevrolet Pickup (Full Size)
  4. Honda Accord
  5. Toyota Camry
  6. Nissan Altima
  7. Toyota Corolla
  8. Dodge Pickup (Full Size)
  9. GMC Pickup (Full Size)
  10. Honda CR-V

Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

To Whom It May Concern: I just want to take the time out of my schedule to thank the Mark Olsen agency for going above and beyond the call of duty for me. They have done a terrific job for me and my family! For example: when my wife & 2 sons were rear ended in a car accident, Mark personally came to take me to the tow company’s lot to retrieve my personal belongings from the wrecked vehicle. When my wife had a blow out taking her mother to the emergency room, it was Jan Houston, Mark Olsen’s office… Read more “Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty”
