West Seattle Crime Watch: Stabbing; robbery; stolen stereo, signs

Four West Seattle Crime Watch notes this morning:

FIGHT LEADS TO STABBING: Police say “a fight over a bag of pot” was behind a stabbing inside a house in the 8800 block of 36th SW early today. The suspect is 15; the victim, 26, and expected to survive the wound to the torso. Police say additional details on this might be available later in the day.

PHONE ROBBERY: We’re hoping to find out more about this too; it hasn’t shown up in online records yet, but we have a reader report, from Jennifer, of another street robbery over a smartphone, Monday morning around 8:20 am at Delridge/Croft. The victim was a teenage girl and the robber is reported to have flashed a gun.

ALKI CAR PROWL: Also a reader report, from Ryan: Sometime Sunday or Monday, a Honda Prelude was broken into in the 6100 block of SW Stevens, and $2500 worth of stereo equipment was stolen, described as “a Pioneer AVH P3200BT with two JBL 10″ 1000w subs and 2 Kenwood amps.”

YARD SIGNS STOLEN: Three weeks until Election Day, and we’ve had multiple reports of yard-sign theft. Yes, it’s illegal. Might just backfire; one victim writing in the WSB Forum says it’s made them mad enough to step up their donations for the cause espoused by the stolen signs.

P.S. Live or work in the Admiral area? Crime/safety is on the agenda, with guests from SPD, for tonight’s Admiral Neighborhood Association meeting – 7 pm, The Sanctuary at Admiral (42nd/Lander).

    Is it legal to put election signs near the “Walking on Logs” statues?

    Any further info on the stabbing incident…like which house?

      The 911 log has a specific address http://www2.cityofseattle.net/fire/realTime911/getRecsForDatePub.asp?action=Today&incDate=&rad1=des but I have to caution that sometimes it shows the address from which the 911 call came, or a nearby intersection, not the actual address, which is much of the reason why we cite block numbers and not specific addresses. We were not able to go to this call in person, so we don’t have verification that way, either. When I spoke with SPD this morning, they expected to publish a blotter post about it with any further details they obtained once a report was in … but as of this writing, they haven’t done so. – TR

    Thanks for offering updates – – last night, a few blocks away from where the stabbing occurred, I witnessed some street drama between two ‘stoned’ pedestrians and feared they might have been involved later in the stabbing, but tonight the same stoned pair wandered by again arguing on the same subjects of ‘who owns the pot’. Glad they weren’t involved in the stabbing, but sad for these addled ones and the sorry life they must lead.

Sorry, comment time is over.
