Five reader reports to share today in West Seattle Crime Watch: First, Stephanie‘s car was stolen overnight and she hopes you will watch for it:
I’d like to report a stolen Subaru Outback from Beach Drive SW near Me-Kwa-Mooks Park. The theft happened between 9 pm last night and 8 am this morning. It’s a dark red car, license AJT2684.
(SUNDAY UPDATE: Stephanie reports her car’s been found – in Everett.)
(back to original Saturday report) Next – two reader-report links from the WSB Forums, in case you can help but haven’t seen them yet – the search for a hit-run driver, and the search for whomever owns a most-likely-stolen bike dumped in a local yard.
Finally, two car-prowl reports from earlier this week, which got lost in our queue while Crime Watch was overtaken for several days with high-profile incidents – read on:
This one’s from Linda:
Wanted to report a car prowl in the 6300 block of 40th Avenue S.W. I discovered my car had been ransacked (Monday) morning when I went to leave for work at 6:45 a.m. I have no idea when it happened, I parked the car (Sunday) afternoon around 2:15 p.m. and hadn’t gone near it until this morning. All they possibly got was a very small amount of change from my very small ashtray. No damage to my vehicle as I had inadvertently left the passenger side door unlocked. A report has been filed with the police.
And this one from Gina:
I live off 21st and Roxbury and (Monday) morning around 4:30 am the cops caught a car prowler as he was piling up all his stolen items from car break=ins in my neighbor’s shed. The neighbor called cops, cops came and found the thief in possession of lots of stolen items including a computer screen as well as some paperwork with my name and address on it! The guy broke into an old junk car I have on my property got into the glove box and grabbed all the papers I had in there.
Gina suggested that anyone hit by car prowlers last weekend in her neighborhood should contact police if they haven’t already gotten word of stolen items being recovered.
