West Seattle Crime Watch: Counterfeit-money alert

Just in, this alert from Paul at Coffee at the Heights (WSB sponsor):

Thought that we would put it out to all the West Seattle businesses, we took a counterfeit 20 today, about 12:30. Description of the guy is 6’1″ dark complexion, slender build, 3 Inch afro that was kinda messy, appx 30-35 years old, with a slight accent. Wearing yellow, green and blue striped oversized polo with faded light blue baggy jeans. We don’t know if he was on foot or in a car, but he headed out of our shop north on 35th Ave SW. Just a word to the other business owners out there.

To elaborate on the location, Coffee at the Heights is in the building on the northwest corner of 35th/Webster (map).

    Hmmm… Perhaps a coffee shop phenom.
    .
    I was going thru Red Cup Espresso today and saw a non-regular in line indoors who sparked suspicion after reading this report earlier in the day. I informed the barista about the counterfeit $20 report (a bit loud since I was in the drive-through lane). The patron abruptly got out of line and left.
    .
    Coincidence, perhaps.

Sorry, comment time is over.
