Manjoo: Kia and Hyundai helped enable crime wave. They should pay for it

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:09:08 GMT

In a recent analysis of data from 37 American cities, the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan think tank, suggested a hopeful trend — the national pandemic-era spike in crime may have peaked.But there’s a glaring exception: auto thefts. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, “The number of vehicle thefts during the first half of 2023 was 33.5% higher, on average, than during the same period in 2022 — representing 23,974 more vehicle thefts in the cities that reported data.”Why are so many cars getting stolen?

Three years ago on Sept. 8, Denver experienced one of the earliest first freezes in history, and it wasn't particularly a cool year. Three days prior on Sept. 5, Denver hit a record high of 101 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. What to expect for Denver’s weather this September Sept. 5, 2020, is looking fairly similar to Sept. 5, 2023, when it comes to the heat. Denver is having highs in the 90s throughout early September. But the years are still quite different, and so are the first frost times. While the weather in 2023 seems just as hot as in 2020, it's actually cooler this year. But the cooler temperatures aren't cold enough for the first freeze. The first freeze isn'...
