Drivers told CBS News Colorado reporter Jasmine Arenas that it’s a gut-wrenching feeling when you walk outside and can’t find your car.
With auto thefts skyrocketing in recent years, the hope is to help victims with the latest new initiatives .
Victims like Abel Gonzalez, who has marks on his truck left behind from when his truck was stolen years ago.
“I am just absolutely fed up with it,” said Gonzalez.
Thousands have shared the sentiment. For Gonzalez who has been a victim of attempted auto theft six times, he wants to see change. The first time he got his car stolen was back in 2020.
“Then I got it back five days later, it was in terrible status, it could’ve been totaled, but I don’t have the luxury of doing that,” said Gonzalez.
