Case closed, in the saga of the purloined pig from Joe’s

May 18, 2010 at 7:51 pm | In Crime, West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants | 14 Comments

Case closed: Two months after it was reported missing, the Endolyne Joe’s pig is back. We noticed it this morning and asked Dickie about the backstory. She said it’s been back for a few weeks; a Joe’s employee was at a real-estate open house and spotted the pig in one of the bedrooms! The employee called Dickie; Dickie called the police; the pig was recovered. No info on the fate of the pilferer.

  5. Of course you call the police to recover a stolen item that you come across. What do you think – you just start carrying stuff out of the open house? And what if maybe the police would like the opportunity to ask the residents about other items that have gone missing?

  6. The pilferer cried “wee wee wee” all the way to jail. No wait, he wrote a check out to the WS Rotary.

  8. Hmmm. My post was responding to an earlier post that isn’t there any longer. I’m glad to see that the comment area is moderated, and that there are standards for what can be posted.

  9. My husband is actually the one who spotted the pig while we were at an open house. Not an employee of Endolyne’s. And we stopped by and told them where to find it. My husband even called them to see if they recovered it the next day. Boo for the employees not reporting the correct info

  12. Okay, LE. Thought maybe you were responding to the voices in your head. KIDDING! Actually, I talk to myself all the time. No you don’t. Yes, I do!

  14. After we found out from twistedbarbies husband where the pig was, I jumped in my car and went over to get it. The guy who answered the door was acting like he had no idea what i was talking about. I offered him 2 choices…give it to me or wait for the police to come and he could give it to them. He went and got me the pig and I quickly returned him to his home. Loved the look on his face when he opened the door and I said I was looking for a giant pig!
