West Seattle Crime Watch notes: Stolen car? plus, car break-in

| Crime | West Seattle news

First, from Betsy in North Delridge:

If you are missing your gray Toyota Camry with license plates 817 xv-, it is sitting on 26th Ave SW just north of Graham SW, missing some parts.

Meantime, a separate note out of the WSB inbox included the following photo and report:

From the accompanying e-mail:

I just wanted to inform neighbors of West Seattle Alki of my car that was broken into on the night of Thursday June 25th. I was staying at my friend’s house who lives on Alki Beach drive across from Jacobson street … My car was securely locked and my alarm was on when a burglar had broken in. My passenger side window had been punched in and the my pink bag filled with clothes, an orange makeup bag and lotions were taken. Nobody in the house had been awaken by my car alarm we think it happened around the time frame of 2:00-4:00 AM. … I have heard of many other cases like this happening in the past couple weeks and I hope they find the thief soon. I have reported this case to the police and so far nobody has been caught.

This is a reminder not to leave stuff (especially bags) out in your car. The only time my car has been broken into in the past three years is when I had a bag of clothes in the back seat.

Our car was rifled through last night/early morning Monday in the High Point neighborhood. We forgot to lock the car and nothing was taken.

My car as broken into on Saturday night/Sunday morning close to 35th and Morgan. They took a bunch of computer hardware. Same deal, don’t leave stuff in your car around here. I normally take everything out of my car, but forgot one time and suffered the consequences as a result.

Wednesday night in Fairmount, window pried/broken out. Looks like someone is prowling nightly into every car on the streets off 35th.

Don’t call for police help either if you live in the High Point area unless you want to wait for at least 30 minutes for them to come (if they even show up) or you are calling at 5am. Definitely don’t call them if there’s a “gang” fight outside because they won’t show up, especially if someone sees what appears to be a gun.

Our car was rifled through last night for the second time in a week. High Point as well. My husband forgot to lock the car…again…nothing was taken so I guess that’s better than a broken window and nothing taken.

Sorry, comment time is over.
