DoorDasher makes delivery, then takes off with Northglenn man's packages
NORTHGLENN, Colo. (KDVR) — It's an incident caught on camera that one Northglenn man couldn't believe.
A DoorDash delivery driver was stealing his packages right from his front door while dropping off food to his neighbor. The entire encounter took less than 30 seconds.

'So, they dropped it off at the door per usual. I never had problems before,' said Alex Teufel.
Alex is referring to his Pokémon cards he has been selling online to help make extra money. They were delivered just before 4:30 p.m. on April 21 in the 12000 block of Claude Court in Northglenn.
'I came out two hours after it had been delivered and it was gone,' he said.
Alex learned his neighbors had ordered food through DoorDash before the situation. His neighbor's surveillance camera appeared to catch the delivery guy not just dropping off the food, but then swiping his package in the process..
'It was a little strange. The video, especially,' said Alex. 'It's one thing if it's word of mouth.'
Alex says he reported the situation to police and his neighbors shared the encounter with DoorDash, but there's been no resolution.
'As far as I know, the neighbors that got the order, they weren't given much information,' said Alex. 'Just the first name of the driver and they will follow up.'
He estimates the packages were worth around $300.
'So, nothing like extremely detrimental, but more than I can afford to lose,' said Alex.

Reflecting on the situation, Alex knows he may not be able to retrieve his items, but he wants to make sure to share his story so others are vigilant.
'It seems pretty easy for them to do it, but then again, there's also bad apples,' said Alex. 'I hope that maybe this brings like, hey, wake up these guys, not all of them are doing the right things when they are doing their jobs.'
We reached out to DoorDash, and a spokesperson sent this statement.
'The video clearly shows this individual brazenly doing the wrong thing and stealing. We've deactivated the Dasher account and will reach out to the neighbor to help make things right. We have no tolerance for stealing or theft.'

Caught on camera: Masked men use stolen welcome sign to hide theft of Pride flags
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) — Masked men using a stolen sign to block the theft of several Pride flags from people's front yards in a Fort Collins neighborhood were caught on camera. It was the first year Rebecca and Sarah Peck hung their flags in front of their home they had recently moved into. When they lived in Alabama, they say they would hang them all the time, with no problem. Trio of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars to headline Denver PrideFest's Center Stage Now, they feel violated knowing someone walked onto their property and made off with their belongings. When Sarah Peck was out cutting grass early Saturday morning, she noticed something was off. 'Then I finished and I was like, wait a minute,' said Sarah. 'What happened to our flags? Like all of them.' The three hanging in the couple's front yard are gone, along with the couple's hand-painted welcome sign. 'The whole process took a couple of weeks between the painting and drying. I wouldn't be surprised if it took a month of work for all of that,' said Sarah. 'I was more like, where'd they go … what happened. I was confused.' It was when a neighbor showed a video of two masked men appearing to use the same sign to hide the theft that neighbors were able to connect the dots. Sarah said, 'It was more of a shock, like this is our sign. It's very distinguishable.' The couple also learned that other homes in the neighborhood were targeted. 'From what I understand, we all had something Pride-related that was messed with,' said Sarah. 'One of the neighbors had a pride wreath that was messed with on their front door. I heard other flags getting taken as well.' Friends remember Jax Gratton two months after she went missing Sarah says she reported the situation to the police, hoping someone can recognize the people responsible. 'What was so offensive to you that you felt the need to come on our personal property and take our stuff?' Sarah asked. Around noon on Monday, the couple replaced the stolen flag while also taping a message to their front door. 'We're not going to be intimidated by it,' said Sarah. Sarah says the sign that was stolen was sentimental and she desperately wants it back. She wants to send a message out to the community to be vigilant. Meanwhile, if you can identify the people in the video, you are asked to give Fort Collins police a call at 970-221-6540. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Colorado joins lawsuit against ATF over deal ending ban on rapid-fire triggers for rifles
DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado is one of 16 states that have sued the Trump administration over its plan to allow the sale of forced-reset triggers that make semiautomatic rifles fire more rapidly and return devices already seized to their owners. The suit announced Monday argues that returning the triggers would violate federal law, pose a threat to residents and law enforcement and worsen gun violence. It was filed in federal court in Maryland. Governor signs bill requiring training for semiautomatic guns, banning rapid-fire conversion devices 'It's hard enough for our local law enforcement officials to protect Colorado communities from gun violence without the federal government willfully ignoring the law,' said Attorney General Weiser. 'The law is clear: machine guns, and devices that turn a semiautomatic weapon into a machine gun, are illegal. We're suing to stop the ATF and the administration from making our communities more dangerous by distributing thousands of devices that turn firearms into weapons of war. These weapons have no place in our communities, and I will continue to fight to keep Coloradans safe from gun violence.' The Colorado law banning the sale of rapid-fire conversion devices, including forced-reset triggers, was signed into law in April and will go into effect on Aug. 1, 2026. Second Amendment supporters have called on the U.S. Attorney General to investigate the measure as an infringement on the U.S. Constitution. Weiser said in a release announcing the state's participation in the lawsuit that machine gun conversion devices like the forced-reset triggers are frequently used in violent crimes and mass shootings. The state attorney general said that by using these devices, firearms can exceed the rate of fire of many military machine guns. 'ATF has noted a significant rise in the use of these types of devices, leading to incidents of machine-gun fire increasing by 1,400% from 2019 through 2021,' Weiser said in a press release. There had been several legal battles over the devices, which replace the typical trigger on an AR-15-style rifle. The Biden administration had previously argued the triggers qualify as machine guns under federal law because constant finger pressure on the triggers will keep a rifle firing, essentially creating an illegal machine gun. The ATF previously classified the triggers as machine guns, but under a directive from the Trump Administration, the bureau signed the settlement agreement that promises to stop enforcing federal law against the devices. New requirements begin July 1 for Colorado concealed carry permits Rare Breed Triggers, the maker of the devices, had argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was wrong in its classification and ignored demands to stop selling the triggers before being sued by the Biden administration. The Justice Department reached a deal announced last month with Rare Breed Triggers to allow the sale of forced-reset triggers. The company was previously represented by David Warrington, Trump's current White House counsel. Under the settlement, Rare Breed Triggers agreed not to develop such devices to be used on handguns, according to the Justice Department. The settlement requires the ATF to return triggers that it had seized or that owners had voluntarily surrendered to the government. The states' lawsuit is being led by the attorneys general of Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. Other states involved are Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, along with the District of Columbia. The attorneys general in those states are all Democrats, though the office in Hawaii is technically nonpartisan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
