Three break-in reports to share tonight – one at a home, two involving cars – read on:
From D:
I returned home (Thursday night) after work to find our back door kicked in. We live in the 5900 block of 49th Ave SW [map]. The thieves swiped electronics, but nothing else. Thanks to the SPD officers who responded.. They were both great. The believe it was probably a daylight burglary that more than likely involved someone knocking on the door and busting in when no one answered. Please be on the lookout for any strange cars or trucks in the alleyways. The violation is always worse than the actual crime itself.
Since our first note from D, a little more followup: He talked to his neighbors – “no one saw or heard anything.” But just in case it happens to you, he adds, “The police made a suggestion to keep a spreadsheet of all your valuables, their make, dollar value, and serial numbers.. Makes them easier to track if they show up at a pawn shop.”
Now, the two car incidents. First, from Andrea:
I just wanted to inform you that early (today), around 1:00 am on the 9400 block of 24th Ave SW [map], someone rifled through my car which was parked in my driveway (about 4 ft from my roommate’s room in my house). He heard my doors opening and closing on both sides of my car and saw two suspects walking away from my car after he went to investigate what was happening and then after he came out the suspects began to run down the street. I promptly called 911 after he told me what he saw and an officer showed up at my door to investigate the issue within 5 minutes. So far all that I have found stolen was a work laptop and docking station, valued about $700 total. Thank goodness I didn’t have anything else of value in my car.
And from Jennie:
I’m just sharing that my car window was smashed in the park and ride under the bridge sometime yesterday. There was smashed glass all over the pavement, so it looked like my car was not the only one affected. My car was gone through but the only thing they took was a ziplock of quarters ($5-$10).
