West Seattle Crime Watch: Package stolen; suitcase found; red bicycle found

11:02 AM: There’s always the possibility these two reports do NOT involve thefts, but in case you can help reunite items with their rightful owners, we’re sharing the reader reports. First, from North Delridge:

I had a package stolen from my porch on Thursday. At least I think it was stolen because it has been reported as delivered and my neighbors don’t have it. It was from Nordstrom but I don’t think it was labeled as such. It had two bras and a skirt. I live on 25th between Brandon and Findlay, right behind the Delridge Library.

Second, if you’re missing a suitcase, through theft or otherwise, a tipster says this turned up on an Admiral parking strip, and tweeted a photo:

It was still there as of first thing this morning, SW Stevens west of 38th SW.

11:48 AM NOTE: SPD tweets suggest the suitcase has been reported to police as “found property,” so if you’re the owner and don’t see this until later, check with them. (Also, see the comments below for an update from the finder.)

ADDED 2:20 PM: Just received a photo of a bicycle found in the greenbelt near Fauntleroy Church:

Morgan says it was there as of early afternoon, “in the Fenton Glen little ravine by the little path to the creek at the far end of Fauntleroy Church’s parking lot … sort of hidden behind a big cedar.”

    Given the weather today, my daughter and I tried to repack the suitcase and found an ID tag on the suitcase as well one or two purses. Given the running shoes, two overnight kits and the purses, I would say this is stuff from more than one car. Given the suitcase wouldn’t close with all this stuff, we grabbed the bag and moved to our porch. I am emailing the owner of the bag as well as calling SPD to let them know the new location.

    The thieves did leave two chilled cans of Bud however. Those I left on the curbside.

    When I went out for a walk yesterday I saw two bags with raw chicken pieces at the NW corner of 39th Ave.SW and SW 104th St. I wonder where they came from?

    @Beto: Probably Safeway.

    Someone was trying to sell that bike while asking for money on W Marginal a few days ago

Sorry, comment time is over.
