West Seattle Crime Watch: Metal theft/’scavenging,’ again

Quick West Seattle Crime Watch note tonight: Karen with the Hansen View Neighborhood Blockwatch shares a heads-up about metal thefts in the alley between 35th and 36th (the 5000 block; here’s a map). A neighbor reported two incidents this past Monday: A locked garage broken into, with a lawn mover and metal bed-frame parts stolen; plus, a razor scooter “taken out of (a) recycling bin.” As the same neighbor also noted, that’s the same day we published this report of a pickup truck trolling alleys in an area not far from HV.

Did anybody notice the state patrol….patrolling both the entrances to the west Seattle bridge?

Yes, the metal thieves are back again. We had some very heavy large pieces of metal scaffolding that were stolen last week. Not something they could just throw in the back of a truck. Very brazen indeed.
