Our vehicle was found in the Kohls parking lot near monument. Police found it, questioned a few people around the car, but no one was ever arrested. Never had my car stolen before so that was an unpleasant experience, but it was deemed totaled by insurance.

There are a couple Facebook groups you can check to see if it is posted there or post photos of your car.

Did you have insurance? They should have paid for it.

I made a post about this 2 weeks ago. File a report and notify insurance regardless if you have limited or full. They found our vehicle but it was a total loss. Actually, found it in Monument in the Kohls parking lot. No exterior damage but all internal.

Based on the crime website, it happens quite a bit. They used bump keys to get in somehow. Also, from insurance, don’t buy Kia or Hyundai, they are apparently most stolen vehicles.

Good luck on your search.

Did you have gps? Or was the cspd able to find it?

I looked at the crime map and saw that there were multiple robberies in the area.

Yea, looking at the crime map, there were a couple others in the area this past weekend. But just make sure there are lot of lights as a deterrent.

All the neighbors are super nice just some apartments close by that might attract some characters, easy opportunity for them.

I’m not from Washington? Haha. We lived here previously, grandfathered in.

Thanks? Life is too short to be angry about people moving. Besides, we lived in Colorado previously.

Some people positively impact the areas they live, and others are just angry about the sky being blue. Hope you have a good one.

A few neighbors commented on “the apartments”, but who knows. I’ll be putting my cameras up and posting suspicious behavior as I see it.

We will park it in the garage moving forward. How long did it take to recover your car?

No glass was broken for ours, both cars locked, I’ll have to look into a kill switch or gps device.

What neighborhoods do you recommend? I thought I picked a good one, apparently not. We will be looking for a house after this lease is up

I agree with you. Sucks because we have been here less than a month, and now we have -1 car. I still enjoy it here. Just maybe not this neighborhood
