Coworkers at a tech startup in Dallas’ West End say several employees have been hit with car thefts over the last several months, part of an increase in thefts reported not only across the city but nationally.
Egan said police were quick to respond and take a report, but the stolen truck was never recovered.
Two months later, he said the same thing happened to a coworker. Then, several others in his office had catalytic converters stolen, all from lots in the area including two under Woodall Rodgers. “There’s a good amount of frustration for sure amongst some of my colleagues about what’s going on here,” said Egan.
While violent crime is down in Dallas, data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System and COMPSTAT shows car thefts in Dallas's central division have increased 84% year to date.City-wide, car thefts are up 35% from the previous January.The car theft increase is part of a nationwide trend that the National Insurance Crime Bureau reported was due in part to the pandemic.
“I know that there’s a focus on violent crime right now, but I would love to see somebody doing something that works, some kind of action that’s effect driven that actually drives down the crime, because whatever’s being done today as a response just isn’t effective,” said Egan.This article tagged under:
