If you still have something coming via postal or package delivery … take note, we’ve received four more package/mail-theft reports today/tonight alone. See them ahead, along with another theft report (shoplifters bolting a store tonight):
From LuAnn:
I live across from Lincoln park and this afternoon a woman walked up to my front
porch and stole a package that had just been delivered by the mailman. I actually
saw her approach because my dog was barking and I’d gotten up to quiet him. She was
walking up the sidewalk, and I had made eye contact with her . However, she was
gone by the time I got to the front door. I was suspicious because she had a hood
on and her lower face was covered by a scarf or muffler. I drove around the block
looking for her and saw the mailman. I asked if he had left anything on my porch
and he’d left a large package there within the hour. Just wanted to get the word
out that thieves are targeting our area…..
From Ryan:
I came home today 12/18, and discovered my enamel mug set package broken into w/
the contents stolen along with 2 other packages from my neighbors. The property mgmt in my apt bldg located in the 5400 block on California Ave SW has contacted the local Post office here in West Seattle.
From Eric:
Thought you might like to know, we had an Amazon box stolen from in front of our house (55th Ave SW and SW Genesee St.) on Monday. The Postal Service delivered the box containing a photo printer at approximately 2:15 pm on Monday, December 15, 2014, according to Amazon and USPS tracking information. The package was gone by the time we arrived home at approximately 2:30 pm that same day. We filed an online police report with SPD. Amazon was kind enough to send a replacement (this time to my office!)
This report was posted as a comment on an earlier unrelated Crime Watch story:
Just need to add my address on 38th Ave SW and Stevens to the list of people losing packages to thieves. My wife received the delivery notification that the present was delivered at 3:29 and left at the front door this afternoon. No package when I got home at 4:10.
And finally, the shoplifting report – Sarah saw “2 persons driving a big nice SUV lic APD—- grab a basket of items at Trader Joe’s and run at the door. Shocker: they were stealing alcohol.” (We heard police dispatched to this while we were out checking on something a couple hours ago. Sarah didn’t mention the SUV’s color but we have a followup question out and will update if we hear.)
