Portland now ranks third among the nation's major cities for car thefts per capita, outpaced only by Detroit and Baltimore. Nearly 6,000 cars have been stolen last year in PDX. By October of 2019, the number of auto thefts had already outpaced all of 2018. When cars are recovered they tend to have been lived in for a week or months. Most of what we see are cars that have little to no damage but are complete BIO hazards inside. The abandoned contents range from other stolen personal items to needles, old food remnants, cigarette butts, and just really stinky in general. A strong percentage of people feel so violated that they want to just total their car. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't roll like that unless there's overwhelming damage which is usually not the case. Auto Bella sees approximately five to ten theft recoveries per week presently. Most of these resemble the same pattern. Stinky, dirty and full of junk.
