There has been a 24% decrease in auto thefts in the Denver metro and a 22% decrease statewide in the first quarter of 2023, but one small section of the city has seen the opposite: Denver International Airport
Denver International Airport spokesperson Stephanie Figueroa said in an interview the airport has been working with Denver police to increase patrols in the area as she said car theft is an ongoing problem there.
When asked about the airport having a reputation as having rampant car theft, Figueroa said the airport is an obvious place for thieves, especially since the airport has such a high concentration of parking spaces. Even though there are possible explanations for the increase, it’s no comfort for those affected by the crime.
Between the time Piercy and his girlfriend parked the car on June 15 and the next night, someone had stolen the truck and used an emergency credit card he kept in the truck. “The stolen truck was not just a means of transportation; it was an extension of my own identity, an embodiment of … hard work and dedication,” Piercy said. “It was my dream truck for the last ten years, I worked hard, saved my money did all the right things the right way.”Piercy said the Denver Police officer who took his report told him the city and airport have a “no-chase policy” in place, so they can’t do anything when they see someone who might be in a stolen vehicle.
