West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen Honda Fit; hit-run damage

| Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

Two West Seattle Crime Watch reader reports.

First, what’s NOT in that photo is the subject of this stolen-car report from Scott:

Stolen between 12:30 AM & 8:00 AM Tuesday from this spot in front of our home at Holden & Holden Place: 2011 silver Honda Fit with Texas plates. Belongs to a young man serving our church as an intern who is living with us. Car is frequently parked in this spot and never had any trouble before. Note large sodium light on corner of the house.

It’s been reported to police. So has this next incident; Dan says a hit-and-run driver did this damage:

We live on 26th Ave SW near Roxbury. About 3:15 AM (Monday) our car parked on the street was hit; the driver took off. They left some of their car behind.

Police subsequently seized the biggest piece – a headlight – as evidence, Dan says. If you have any tips, let them know.

P.S. Next Tuesday is the final West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting before a couple months of summer break. If you have crime concerns and/or questions for police – be there, 7 pm, Tuesday, June 16th, Southwest Precinct meeting room, which is right off the parking lot on Webster, west of Delridge, just east of the south side of Home Depot.

Saw a grey or silver VW Golf or Rabbit with missing headlight and front end damage turn right from northbound Avalon onto Genesee last evening. It was the right light that was missing, but the damage to the Mazda would suggest the suspect car would be missing its left light. But still, it caught my eye. It looked creepy with a black hole where the headlight should have been.

No, the car was rear-ended, so I’m pretty sure the offending vehicle’s right headlight is missing. I’m also pretty sure that car is white based on the paint left on our car, which is hard to tell from the photo.

As an 8 year Fit owner until about 10 days ago, that car isn’t going anywhere very fast! Unfortunately though, I learned they have amazing trade in value. Hope they find it soon.
