Auto thefts have skyrocketed in Denver and Hyundai and Kia models make up most of those. But why do the Korean automakers top Denver’s most stolen list? And what is being done?

DENVER — Colorado is No. 1 in the nation for car thefts, with more cars stolen per capita than any other state in the country, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Chip keys, which started to show up in the 1990s, communicate with another chip in the ignition switch. If they match, the engines will start. If they don't match, a thief can't start the engine. Progressive Insurance said it has restricted offering coverage on new policies in the Denver area on certain models of the Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia because of the alarming rate by which these vehicles are getting stolen in the Denver area.

pweiser makes crime happen. So many working families have lost their only vehicle and their way to get to work. Yet crazy Phil Weiser doesn't thing car thieves should be sent to jail unless they are stealing 3-4 a month. Phil Weiser is out of touch.

We know what BethDAlady is doing…. NOTHING! Denver voters getting what they deserve warms heart!!

When it comes to the states DA, nothing. They let these criminals off with zero bail and zero penalties. Time to clean house and get tough on crime.
