Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

1. Bike thefts in metro Denver continue to increase. Who is stealing all these bikes, and who is buying them? CBS4's Brian Maass digs in, and discovers a murky web of online sellers and bike justice vigilantes. (CBS4)
2. Boulder County to adopt new fire-resistant home building requirements. On Thursday, the Boulder County commissioners adopted the new set of rules for newly constructed homes, sparked in part, by December's Marshall fire. (CO Sun)
3. Project aims to bury planet-warming carbon. A first-of-its-kind in project in Colorado, will take the carbon dioxide that's produced at two ethanol plants in northeastern Colorado, and pump it into a saline aquifer almost a mile underground. (CPR)
4. Shots fired by Boulder Police while trying to arrest car-jacking suspect. A suspected car-jacker was taken into custody near the Table Mesa bus stop. No injuries were reported. (9News)
5. Buying a new home isn't always cheaper (or easier) than buying a used one. New home buyers are finding out that the initial price that lured them in, is far less than what they end up paying for a new home in today's real estate market. (5280)
