Crime in Denver is getting out of control. Someone smashed the windows of my Tesla, poured gasoline both inside and on the outside of the car, and lit it ablaze.

We lived in downtown Atlanta and had plenty of similar issues - car break ins, gunshots at night, homeless people on our front porch, homeless person on the sidewalk in front of our house jacking it, etc.

We moved to CO for the mountains and outdoors so bypassed the city and moved straight to the foothills. Probably not the answer for single folks, but it has been amazing for us. I hardly ever lock our doors and have accidentally left the garage door open on multiple occasions

Some guy tried to run us over at night intentionally. We waited to cross the road at a stop sign to make sure he was able to see the stop sign in the dark. He stopped. When we stepped into the road he gunned it. We had to jump out of the street to avoid getting hit. He didn’t slow down. Another guy rammed his trucks into our garages for a few neighbors trying to steal. It’s never been this bad in denver and I’ve been here over two decades. The problem is that my liberal friends are unreachable on this issue because they don’t want to portray the advancements we are making in police accountability as negative or a driver of rise in crimes…

I agree that crime is crazy in Denver, but your story is off the charts. The city council and the mayors office don’t support the police and hood cops are quitting. I think it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We lived in city and county of Denver for 20 years and left this year for Littleton. The change was long overdue.

This place is lawless anarchy. I might do the same and get out

We’re at a major inflection point, with wide spread lay offs, every town asking for a MIL Levy tax to pay teachers more, increasing property taxes, and inflation people are crossing lines they never thought they would before. And a Tesla is a quintessential “I’m rich and better than you car”- not saying you believe that, but that is certainly the connotation the brand has. You’re a victim likely of a targeted crime to displace anger.

Hahaha they are kinda douchey cars but I took an Uber home in one from DIA the other day and now I’m sold. I still kinda hate Elon but it’s a pretty cool car. I just backed out Subaru into a concrete barrier which probably never would have happened in a Tesla 😕 did insurance cover it? Are you getting a new one?

The thing most people moving here don’t realize is that most of Denver is shitty, old homes and the schools are not good. Plenty of million dollar homes next door to complete tear downs. The problems come with.

I have questions: 1) where was it parked, 2) did you piss someone off, like maybe an ex or are you a shitty driver, and 3) how is an associate affording a Tesla?

The term associate is pretty broad I suppose Associates at many consulting firms make more than $200

Yup, honestly one of the reasons I moved out of the core, I sometimes don’t feel safe at night nor my property in certain areas. I’ve lived in SF and Seattle and left there, only see it getting to that point at this rate

I moved out of Denver 2 months ago because of the crime. so much happier out here on the western slope. No more constantly fearing my bike will get stolen, no more waking up in the night to gunshots, no more hearing neighbors stories of getting robbed, guns pulled on them, cars stolen. My neighborhood was becoming a real burden to live in, which is totally counter to why I moved out here. Would recommend the foothills or western slope to anybody else sick of it

Where at in the western slope? Would definitely consider it if I didn’t need to be near an airport

OP, where did this happen? That’s appalling

Op where are you?! That’s insane. That sucks so bad, it’s also going to be brutal to get a new one since everything is back ordered.

Where was this?

Denver, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago all have 1 thing in common…

That’s a fact…anyone think K Brough will step up to the challenge?

You sure it wasn’t Apia’s off ex?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
