That's quite a catwalk if it’s that big of a deal one way or another for a human being to book a cheap flight, budget hotel room and car rental. Fashion show to boot, with a significant local presence of the high fashion industry and the type of language typically used in that industry. (I wouldn’t be more specific than that, but nice clothes are cheap and easily available, new or used, in Denver and surrounding areas.)

Tell us what you’re passionate about — We want to know what motivates the people we meet. There’s no wrong answer here; we just want to see you get fired up about something you love.

They are laid-back, and they want you passionate, fired up and in love.

What specifically motivates people? I’m a complete literalist on the subject of “motivation.” Many jobs list reliable transportation as a requirement. When people have nice wheels to take them where they want to go, they feel motivated. Conversely being unmotivated is to be stuck somewhere, or unable to get on the move.

When people talk so much about cars, without actually talking about their cars, they are obviously living in a district of rampant motor vehicle theft.

Indeed there is no law against stealing cars in the State of Colorado. Under, CRS § 18-4-409, only a person who “knowingly obtains or exercises control over the motor vehicle of another without authorization or by threat or deception” may be convicted of motor vehicle theft in Colorado. That language of the statute specifically requires key in the ignition, hands on the steering wheel and butt in the driver’s seat for a conviction. Towing other people’s cars on flatbed commercial tow trucks or trailers can never be considered theft under any circumstances. Thus it is 100% legal and explicitly permitted by state and federal law to tow any other person’s vehicle on a commercial flatbed tow truck out of the state and transfer ownership for any reason under any circumstances, and the Dyer Act does not apply because the original theft was not prosecuted, and the same lawyers appear in both state and federal courts over the same matter. On the other hand teens who drive to parties and social gatherings without their parents’ permission may be sentenced to decades in prison under Colorado’s laws.

The only possible redress for vehicle owners in Colorado appears to be the law on wrongful appropriation under Title 10, U.S. Code § 921, Article 121 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which applies in a military jurisdiction to “persons subject to this chapter.”

10 U.S. Code § 921 - Art. 121. Larceny and wrongful appropriation
US Code - Title 10 > Subtitle A > PART II > CHAPTER 47 > SUBCHAPTER X > § 921
10 U.S. Code § 802 - Art. 2. Persons subject to this chapter
US Code - Title 10 > Subtitle A > PART II > CHAPTER 47 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 802

The most likely scenarios for convening courts-martial against “civilians” or non-military members for larceny and wrongful approriation of motor vehicles would be in the cases of “other persons lawfully called or ordered into, or to duty in or for training in, the armed forces, from the dates when they are required by the terms of the call or order to obey it” or “Members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service, and other organizations, when assigned to and serving with the armed forces.”
