“Unfortunately, your trend line is still up, and you’re still top of the stack,” said David Glawe, president and CEO of the NICB. Since 2019, Glawe says car thefts in the Denver metro area are up 155%, the highest rate in the country. Car theft data from the Colorado Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force shows car thefts increased from 13,227 in the metro area in 2019 to 27,439 in 2021. Through the first six months of 2022, CMATT has reported 16,191 car thefts, putting the area on pace to surpass 2021 numbers.“A used car right now, to purchase, is up almost 35% to 40% greater than it was in 2019,” Glawe said.
While car thefts continue to rise, catalytic converter thefts have continued to skyrocket over the past two years.After just 105 thefts in 2020, Denver police reported 2,027 catalytic converter thefts in 2021, and 2,000 so far this year, with more than three months remaining. The 2021 numbers represented an increase of 1,930% over the previous year.The NICB recommends that people have comprehensive insurance should they become a victim of car or catalytic converter theft.
