Types of Motor Vehicle Theft in Colorado
When you imagine stealing a car, you usually think of hotwiring it or breaking a window to get in. However, this isn’t the only method used to steal cars. Offenders can also use deception or threats to obtain a vehicle and can still be charged with aggravated motor vehicle theft.
Common types of auto theft include:
- Parked vehicles - Normally, when a parked vehicle is stolen, the suspect has planned the theft and is usually looking for a specific vehicle. This could be because the vehicle is easy to sell, they’re familiar with it, or its parts are valuable. The suspect may also look for a vehicle that is parked in an unsecured area, in the dark, or otherwise unattended.
- Vehicles left running - In Colorado, many vehicles are stolen because the owner is merely warming the vehicle up; the owner starts the vehicle and goes back into their home to finish coffee or finish getting ready for work, leaving the car unsupervised.
- Carjacking - Carjacking occurs when the vehicle is forcefully taken from the owner. This occurs many times at intersections when the vehicle owner is stopped. The suspect or suspects force the driver out (or to move over), and a suspect then begins to drive the vehicle.
