The times I have gone to pick up a pizza I’ve felt nervous walking to my car because it’s so dark and pushed back from the street. Especially the parking lot behind the store- really dark and creepy- unless more lighting has been added in the past couple of years.

A reminder: If you have information on a possible motive or suspect in this or any crime, the place to voice that is with the police, not in a story comment. Thanks. – TR

Mike: Actually, that location on mid-California has less easy access to escape routes than other pizza shops in the Admiral, Alaska and Morgan Junctions.

Christopher, Darn you for making me think this early in the day, after only a few sips of coffee! ;-).

Anyway, these were all late in the evening, and I wonder if that’s a major factor on many levels; perhaps near closing time, so the thieves may be under the impression that there’s quite a bit of money that hasn’t been dropped into the safe (not only till intake, but money coming in from the drivers). Not likely to be many, if any, customers that late; so fewer witnesses. Relatively quick and easy access out of WS (California—->Alaska—->Fauntleroy—->Expressway/Bridge, or Brandon—->Fauntleroy—->Expressway/Bridge) and little traffic that time of night.

I was thinking the same thing! I knew it had happened before but now three times!?

That’s the third time in three years! I wonder what makes that place so attractive to thieves.

Just took the dog out saw police cruising by looking for the perp. Live just off Edmonds. Was curious what was up. Thanks for keeping the community up to date WSB! Hopefully they catch him.
