West Seattle Crime Watch: Truck, toolbox taken; car break-in

| Arbor Heights | Crime | West Seattle news

Two West Seattle Crime Watch notes, both from Arbor Heights. First, from Lonjina:

Our silver 2007 Dodge Dakota was stolen from in front of our house between 1 am and 7 am this morning. We live in the Arbor Heights neighborhood on 105th St. behind AH Elementary. It is a 4-door with a rack and a large toolbox. Unfortunately it was stuffed with tools and fishing gear in preparation for a family outing today. License plate B18349G. Please keep an eye out for it!

And Al reports this incident from Wednesday night:

A UPS package was ripped open — the contents stolen — and the box was thrown on the front lawn of our home on the 10000th block of 37th Ave SW in Arbor Heights. In addition, the criminal burglarized our car and stole a jacket, a case of non-persishable food to be donated to a local school, personal items, and keys.

Hey to help prevent packages being stolen or tampered with, look into the local mail dispatches…they often will accept packages for a small fee. I think it’s worth it if you don’t live in a condo/apt and aren’t available during the day for packages. No, I don’t work for such a service, just have done this in the past when I lived in Greenwood and we had similar problems.
