West Seattle Crime Watch: Suspicious activity

From Sarah:

Hello,

Around 8:30 p.m. Saturday, my husband and I came home from a day downtown and observed a young man – black, early 20s-ish – attempting to act nonchalant while trying car door handles along Avalon Way SW between 35th and SW Genesee. Specifically, he tested a late-90s silver Honda Accord twice (crossing the street and testing others between attempts). I did report the activity to police, who were dispatching a car to check things out. He was wearing an oversized black t-shirt and black shorts, red baseball cap, and red backpack. Keep an eye out! This is obviously a heavily-traveled street, and it’s still light out, but this guy didn’t seem fazed at all.

    I live in highland park and I swear half of everyone walks down the middle of the street on my block! There’s sidewalks here. From teenagers to adults. What is the deal, are there that many crummy people in this neighborhood?

    Yeah there are sidewalks for a reason!

    We have been installing several alarms in the Highland Park area due to the increase in home burglaries and theft. Installing a simple video camera above your front door is also a great way to deter crime or capture them in the act.
