West Seattle Crime Watch: Overnight smash

From the Triangle district (4700 block of 36th; map), Mike sent that photo, wondering if anyone has more information about how their car window wound up in that condition. He says it happened between 12:30 am, when he and his wife went to bed, and 2:30 am, when a police officer woke them up; he says they didn’t hear this happen because their windows were closed to shut out noise from “revelers at the VFW” and wonders if it was related. It’s been reported to police, so there’s a case number if you call with info (206-625-5011 is the non-emergency number). By the way, it’s time for us to start reminding you that the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meets this Tuesday, 7 pm at the Southwest Precinct (map), first meeting since high-profile cases including the May 1st Alki shooting and April 30th Junction bank robbery. WSCPC meetings are the biggest monthly opportunity to bring your concerns about crime/safety directly to local police leadership, since they’re always there both to brief the group and to answer attendees’ questions.

    Reminds me of when some kid threw a root beer bottle through the rear window of my car a few years ago. Wife parked it just outside a friends house and hear a “crash” sound then saw the rear window was completely busted out. Had to pay the $250 deductible but insurance covered the rest of the cost. SPD took the report and bottle (as evidence, for whatever it’s worth).

    Sorry to see this happening more and more.

    Hopefully the American Legion Hall will not be used for a “rave” again anytime soon! Last time I walked by after their event and there were needles strewn all the way across Alaska Street. Not to mention the trash and empty whisy bottles.

Sorry, comment time is over.
