Crime Watch: West Seattleite’s car stolen – but not from WS

| Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle people

Seen this car? West Seattleite Bill Schrier hopes so. You may know him as webmaster for the 34th District Democrats, and/or in his acclaimed role as technology boss for the City of Seattle. But right now, he’s a car owner who put out a photo and details on Facebook, which we’re republishing here with his permission:

Be on the lookout for our 2001 silver Honda CRV stolen from Queen Anne at about 5:00 PM (Thursday). … License #940XMJ (Washington State), has a Wisconsin Badgers sticker on the back, plus the unique combination of an Army Reserve bumper sticker and a “peace” bumper sticker (which are shown as insets in the photo …). Call 911 if you see this vehicle. I’m offering a reward of everlasting gratitude and dinner in our remodeled kitchen. After talking to the responding police officer: (1) if you have a Toyota or Honda, get a club or similar very visible locking device and (2) park in West Seattle, not Queen Anne.

4:17 PM UPDATE: As Bill posted below in comments, his car has been found – with some distinctive new items inside:

SPD found it on University Street downtown across from SAM earlier this afternoon. Trashed inside (stuff strewn all about, CD’s missing), but only noticeable damage was a crack in the front bumper. Now I have two more requests: (1) anybody know a good auto detailer to clean the perp germs out of the car? and (2) be on the lookout (BOLO) for the perp who eats Mrs. Freshly’s Golden Honeybun donuts, shops at Whole Foods,and wears a size DD black bra,all of which I found in the vehicle!

ADDED 5:37 PM: And if you are skeptical about all that, Bill posted this photo on his FB page as proof (again, used here with permission):

Witnessed what appeared to be the sale of a silver Honda CRV at a house across the street around 11am near White Center. This house is always pedaling used cars it seems (have prob seen over a dozen in the last few yrs). Large garage area in back. Suspiciuos for sure.

Per Bill, the Seattle Police recovered it downtown about an hour ago right by SAM!

Glad to hear it – thanks, Brian! I’d checked his FB page just a short time ago for updates, even – TR

Thanks, Brian, Tracy and Craig for the posting and publicity, and for keeping an eye out for it. Yes, SPD found it on University Street downtown across from SAM earlier this afternoon. Trashed inside (stuff strewn all about, CD’s missing), but only noticeable damage was a crack in the front bumper. Now I have two more requests: (1) anybody know a good auto detailer to clean the perp germs out of the car? and (2) be on the lookout (BOLO) for the perp who eats Mrs. Freshly’s Golden Honeybun donuts, shops at Whole Foods,and wears a size DD black bra,all of which I found in the vehicle!

um, regarding the contents…and not that I know from PERSONAL experience…but isn’t the Lusty Lady right around the corner from where the car was found? ;)

Whatever you do, don’t go to Ric’s Autobuff. That jerk ripped us off. A junior high kid looking for extra cash would do a better job washing your car.

Maybe check with the 34th district democrats (WSB calls them the “34DD’s” – hee-hee-hee.

WSB December 20, 2009 (12:11 pm)

Actually we added the “th” when someone pointed that out a few months ago. Some claim their eyes still edit out the “th” – TR

Hi Bill –

Sorry about your car – very bizarre story. Glad it seems that most of what’s needed to restore it to comfy drivability is nuking perp cooties.

We’ve used Cuzzins mobile detail with great results: http://www.cuzzinsmobiledetail.com/

They actually make house calls (in fact, I’m not sure they do anything else) AND it’s a West Seattle business.

Good luck – we’ll be on the lookout for well endowed, under supported donut eaters!

I’ve used Rico’s Autobuff twice in the last year for two of my cars, and the service was excellent, and the cost what he estimated. I recommend them.

Over the shoulder donut holder? (Holds two donuts)

“…be on the lookout (BOLO) for the perp who eats Mrs. Freshly’s Golden Honeybun donuts, shops at Whole Foods,and wears a size DD black bra,all of which I found in the vehicle!”

Just to point out that a DD bra doesn’t really tell people much… just saying, there is a HUGE difference between a 30DD and 56DD. Not that that is going to make or break this case… But, I’m sure people would hate to be on the look out (BOLO) for the wrong pair of ta-tas. *winky face

Sorry, comment time is over.
