Congratulatons SPD for taking aggressive steps to get items back to their owners, and to let the public know your success stories.

Thank you!

Crime in West Seattle? What!?

I am sure SPD’s only interest in identifying the properties owner is to link the party to a crime.

People think!

The detectives need a Residential Burg. to be committed before they can charge the arrested party! So obviously, the party (if booked) would have been conditionally released as the detective has no facts to file a complaint.
