West Seattle Crime Watch: Wheeled away

Just out of the WSB inbox, Shay explains why she woke up to a 3-wheeled car, and wonders if anyone else in the area got hit – read on:

I wanted to report that the rear driver side wheel (yep that’s right – tire, rims, lug nuts and everything) was stolen off of my 2005 Scion TC sometime between midnight last night and 7am this morning. I live near 47th Ave and Spokane right by James Madison Middle School. I wanted to know if anyone else had something stolen off their car last night in the area; if not could you post this so that people will be more aware in this area and hopefully this won’t happen to anyone else. It’s going to cost us at least $700 to fix this and that’s if they didn’t do any other damage while taking the wheel.

    No, but the night before last between 10:00PM and 4:00AM, someone walked between my house and the neighbors to go through my garage, nothing of value was stored in it luckily. This is on 42nd and Charleston.

    We don’t live in the same area of West Seattle, but that happened to us a month and a half ago (two wheels). I understand your aggravation and I hate that this kind of thing keeps happening.

    Consequently, we are restarting our neighborhood Block Watch (meeting next week). It’s time to reconnect with all our neighbors and heighten the awareness.

Sorry, comment time is over.
