The three newest West Seattle Crime Watch reports include two car break-ins along Harbor Avenue, and a home break-in – read on for full details:
First:
Hello, I would just like to report that on Wednesday, May 12, at approximately 6pm, my girlfriend and her friend went out for a walk along Alki Beach. Their car was parked between Salty’s and that Fish & Chips Restaurant near the Water Taxi dock. My girlfriend’s friend left her purse in the car…either on the passenger side seat or on the passenger side floor mat. In any case, someone broke the window out of the passenger door, and stole the purse. Nothing else was taken. As the Seattle PD officer was writing his report, someone went speeding by in a sports car, and was subsequently stopped by the cop and given a ticket. Two lessons here: 1. Don’t leave your valuables in a visible location in your car. Even in an area where there are people present, thieves always find a way of getting what they want. 2. Don’t speed along Alki Beach!
Next, from mlv:
(Wednesday) night between 6-7 pm, my sisters car was broken into down at Alki beach. Harbor Ave. By the boat launch. At the angle parking. They used some jimmy rig to slip into the window. Stole her purse, and my other sisters blackberry. By the time we had gotten home to call the bank, they had already tried to use her card at the ATM. This was in Broad daylight, on the crowded busy parking. I want people to watch for people using things to open cars, even if they act like it is theirs. At least report the suspicious behavior. This is someone’s whole life in their purse sometimes. It goes far beyond just calling the bank and stopping your acct., or turning your phone off. Some people can suffer a multitude of mental anguish with these situations. So please, let’s all be diligent this summer with the suspicious activity at our beach.
From Douglas:
Want everyone to be aware there are kids who are very comfortable kicking in doors and stealing things in the Highland Park neighborhood. A high visibility green Specialized Stump Jumper with front shocks and a gel pad seat + a yellow Kona woman’s mountain bike were stolen (earlier this week). If you find my bikes I would like them back…
