Don't be a "Puffer"

Now that the cold weather is approaching and the weather this weekend is forecasting snow, it is time to remind drivers not to be “PUFFERS” (puffer – n. an automobile left unattended and running in cold weather). Every year, hundreds of people had their vehicles stolen while they were left running unattended.
The Denver Police Department is strongly encouraging the citizens of Denver not to become “Puffers”. It does not matter if you lock your car doors while your vehicle warms-up; you are still a “Puffer”. Many motorists believe that just because they lock their car doors while the vehicle is running means that they are not at risk of having their car stolen. That is not true. In the time that it takes to go in and out of your home or a store, a thief can break a car window and be gone with your vehicle. It only takes a matter of seconds, NOT minutes!

Remember that you can also be issued a ticket if your car if left running unattended.

In addition to not being a “Puffer”, please remember not to leave items of value in your vehicle that may be visible to someone who is passing by which will minimize your chances of becoming a victim of Theft from Motor Vehicle.

About Me

My Photo
The Cole neighborhood, which became part of the city in 1874, stretches from 32nd Avenue to 40th Avenue and from York Street to Downing Street. Cole Junior High School and the neighborhood itself are named after Carlos M. Cole, a superintendent of Denver's Public Schools who was instrumental in establishing junior high schools in Denver. More than half of the residential blocks were developed prior to 1900. Several historic buildings remain, like the cleanly designed red brick and sandstone Wyatt School on 3620 Franklin Street, built in 1887 and named after its former principal George W. Wyatt.
