#2,429 - Thieves steal hundreds of cars from airport hotels, parking lots, KING 5 Investigators find
Manage episode 432594086 series 2792715
Hundreds of travelers to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport each year are falling victim to car thieves and prowlers, the KING 5 Investigators have found.
Hotels and motels that offer "park-n-fly" or "stay-n-fly" packages are favorites of car thieves, which routinely target their lots. Some of the best-known names in lodging have the most crimes, and they leave customers on the hook, according to data reviewed by KING 5.
“Something needs to be done,” said Carol Olson of Snohomish County. Her insurance paid for $15,000 in repairs after her truck was stolen from the Seattle Airport Marriott on South 176th Street and trashed in December. She took her grandkids on a trip to Disneyland and returned to an empty parking spot. “This back lot gets hit every other night,” a SeaTac police officer told Olson on a bodycam recording.
