“I don’t know if you can see, the back seat is ripped out. The subs are gone. They cut the ignition wires and stole the battery,” Authier said. “There’s wires hanging out of the steering column, they took my radio.”
“We’re standing in the lot now that it was stolen from on a Saturday,” Authier said. “I was taking the train to go to the Stock Show with some family to have a good day. We came back that same day, later around 8 o’clock, and my car was gone. I called police and mentioned the cameras, but they said the cameras here don’t really work, so they can’t really check those.”
And it’s not just auto theft that’s rampant. Thieves are also stealing things out of cars and from under them. When the owner approached the car, he was"involved in an exchange of gunfire" with those inside the vehicle, according to Denver police. It’s not known if the driver, 12-year-old Elias Armstrong, had a weapon or if it another occupant in the stolen vehicle who engaged in the shootout.
