West Seattle Crime Watch update: Stolen Honda Element found

ORIGINAL SATURDAY REPORT: From Jenny, who says this happened in the Whale Tail Park area:

My car was stolen from out front of my condo on Alki last night after around 10:30 PM, plate number NP06983, black 2011 Honda Element with upgraded wheels. Please keep an eye out for me; my hopes of recovering it are slim, but any help is greatly appreciated.

This is also on SPD’s @getyourcarback Twitter feed.

SUNDAY UPDATE: Jenny confirms that (as reported in a comment) the Element has been found. Missing a few things – including those wheels – but she has it back.

    2011 Honda Elements – in all trim levels – have engine immobilizers. I wonder how the thieves were able to start the engine.

    Easiest was is to steal a key, or have a key made. Ive seen thieves tow cars too.

    Jenny-I have an old set of steel wheels with decent tires from our element if you need. You can have them for free!

Sorry, comment time is over.
