West Seattle Crime Watch: Health-care office hit

Busy morning so far. In addition to the Hancock/Schuck’s demolition and a notable tree takedown (report to come), we were going through a sheaf of police reports downloaded last night at the precinct – when something too new to have been in that stack arrived in the WSB inbox from Dr. Elise Mullen:

(At) Seattle Wellness Programs, 5617 California Ave SW: We had someone come through the office, at approximately 8:20 pm (last night), while the massage therapist, Leah Bowman, was working and stole her purse which was in a back room. A police report has been filed Please let police know if anyone saw someone at that time or recovers the purse. 206-388-2929

when I had an office near the junction a few years ago, I would keep the door locked in the evenings, and I never, ever saw new clients in the evening. Of course, I knew where the baseball bat and the knives were ;-) As luck would have it, the only time someone came in and took something was during the afternoon when the door was open…

if its not tied down, they will steal it. where do all these come from? locals? or is it because school is out for the sumner? funny i expected more cars to get stold.

Sorry, comment time is over.
