A Denver teen who just got his license and bought his first car woke up to find it stolen a week after he purchased the Acura MDX with his life savings
DENVER — Like most teenagers, Logan Bader was excited to get his driver's license and purchase his very first car. But a car thief had other plans and denied that rite of passage for the Denver teen.
"I was just saving all my money that I got when I was younger, from birthdays to graduations, [and babysitting jobs]," Logan said."It felt really nice. I felt like I accomplished my goal and being able to have a car for myself," he said. "On January 19, I woke up early in the morning, because I was going to go on a run. And then my car was gone," Logan said."I felt really bad just because I worked hard for it. And it was just gone before I even got the chance to really even use the car.""They put a detective on the case. But they don't like actively go out, kind of just like if they find the car, then they inform you," he said.
"I needed it just to get around because my parents couldn't really take me everywhere. So it was nice that I would be able to take myself places," he added."It was a complete nightmare when he was knocking on my door and woke me up. It was 5:30 in the morning when we discovered this," Bader said."I didn't think it was real when he was telling me his car was gone.
