Troy Payne, Justice faculty and Alaska Justice Information Center Associate Director, was quoted in an Anchorage Daily News story on the impact of having a car stolen. "The tendency is to say, 'Oh[,] it[']s just property, it's replaceable.' If you're insured it's not that big of a deal....It's actually really traumatic to have that sort of violation," according to Payne. The story is part of a series on factors involving growing car thefts in Anchorage, including, "$45 million in property was stolen in Anchorage last year," and "How counterfeit cash, SB 91 and stolen guns fit into the Anchorage car theft epidemic: A Q&A with detectives."
