Crime Watch reader report: Alki car break-in

From Patricia:

My neighbor let me know his car parked in his driveway was broken into Friday early morning. We’re at 64th & Hinds. He had left an I-Pod Nano visible in his sportscar, the thieves busted the side window to get in. Guesstimate on break-in, most likely early morning between 2-4 am.

    that’s a shame…I guess, if you value it, don’t leave it in your car….a lesson to learn. Still, I’m sorry to hear about this type of vandalism and theft…it’s such a personal invasion…

    I was on my way to work at 4:00am the other day, and my car alarm suddenly went off. I took a look and the motion detector light was on too. Seems to me I’ve heard about a lot of car break in’s lately.

    I woke up this morning to find my truck door and glove box open. From the initial review, I don’t believe anything was taken… but it’s still unnerving to know that someone was prowling.

    I live near Highland Park/White Center on a typically quiet block. I’ve reported it to the Sheriff’s office but thought my neighbors should be aware as well.

    My car was broken into on Friday night -via the window- on 61st on Alki and on Saturday night a neighbor’s car on the other end of 61st was broken into. I would say someone is working the area, so be alert and don’t leave ANYTHING in the car!!

    I found something of Lori’s on my street– 57th and was able to make contact with her. This is definately an alert to leave NOTHING in your car. Just curious, are windows getting smashed or locks popped???

    I’m on my way to check police reports at the precinct so I’ll hopefully have those sort of details in the next round of summaries.

    I live on 60th a block off of Alki and I also forgot my NANO on my seat one night about a three months ago. As you can probably guess my window was broken when I got to my car in the morning.

    Then just last month someone thought it would be fun to break my wifes window. They didn’t take anything but it still sucks.

Sorry, comment time is over.
