Crime Watch reader report: Car break-ins near Lincoln Park

From Cass:

Just wanted to alert the neighborhood that there have been a few car break-ins in the neighborhood of Fauntleroy and Cloverdale (map), near Lincoln Park. The neighbors have seen a guy who is supposedly selling magazine subscriptions hanging around, and have reported the break-in and sighting to the Seattle Police. No big damage done, but a reminder to keep your eyes open and your cars locked.

This gives us the opportunity to mention that you can get your questions answered about “casing” — what should you consider suspicious, what should you not worry about, when to call the police, when not to — during a Q&A with local police leadership at next Tuesday’s West Seattle Community Safety Partnership meeting (Southwest Precinct meeting room, 7 pm). And if you have any other crime/safety concerns in your neighborhood, that meeting’s also the place to be.

    We just had a guy “from the advertising dept” from a 1st Defense Security, offering a home security systems knock on our door. His ID didn’t match his paperwork, but did match his driver’s license. He said that he “just moved” here from Utah and his ID picture had just been taken, and that his ID was from his old company… He seemed like he was on the up and up, but I still barely gave him the time of day…

    Our neighborhood near the Charleston St. water tower has been hit several times this year by car prowelers. Our car has been broken into 3 times this year. Thankfully no damage. They must have keys to Toyotas! They leave the doors ajar and all the stuff from the glovebox scattered on the seats and floor. This happened again just last night (May 16) to our car and one of the neighbors. I filed a report with the police, but don’t expect them to do anything but populate another database…

    I live on 42nd and Walker (over by Blockbuster) and my car was broken into last night, Sunday May 18. They took my stereo and speakers and went through everything pretty good. This follows several instances of air being let out of my tires, no damage, just air being let out. I have flood lights and they just seem to be very brave….

Sorry, comment time is over.
