Four West Seattle Crime Watch reports ahead – including an intruder caught on surveillance camera, pricey shoes pilfered from a car trunk, more car break-ins, and a puzzling porch theft – read on to see the reports (with a few photos):
First, Elija sent this photo of an intruder at British Auto Center in the Luna Park business district (the face was not very visible but we’ve obscured it a bit further):
On Tuesday, 27.April, at about 7 pm the person in the surveillance photograph … tore back a section of corrugated metal fence and entered the property. he remained for about 1/2 hour (according to the owner, Rusty Russ). It’s pretty clear that he was looking for copper wire, although whether he absconded with any remains unknown. The police were dispatched, but were unable to locate the suspect, nor readily determine if anything had been removed.
Please contact Rusty Russ @ the British Auto Center (206.935.0872) or the Seattle Police Department with any information.
A car-prowl victim who didn’t want to be identified reported this from the 2300 block of 44th SW (map):
(Tuesday night/Wednesday morning) my car was broken into (A 1997 Honda Civic), and a $600 pair of shoes stolen from my locked trunk. My trunk was locked from the inside – the locking mechanism was tampered with in order for the thieves to be able to pop the trunk from the inside. Also, I know for a fact that I had locked my car, so the thieves likely popped out my window, which is doable with a Honda.
My neighbor, who parks directly next to me, also discovered her car unlocked this morning as well, and she is positive it had been locked overnight.
The shoes in question, if anyone comes across them at a garage sale or consignment store are, Jimmy Choo, off-white satin slingback wedding shoes. Never worn. There is a very skinny bow across the top of each shoe. The dust cover was also stolen. Size 37.5 (7.5 in US sizes).
From Berto, via Facebook:
I was in the area of California and Juneau St (Raymond and 44th) block (Thursday) and i saw two cars with broken windows, there might be someone going around breaking car windows…. just thought I’d let you know so you can alert peeps….
Here’s the photo Berto sent:
And from Lee in the Belvidere area:
Woke up this morning to find someone had stolen the flower pots and planters from our front porch. Including one hand-crafted for my wife by one of her best friends as a gift and a cast-iron one that had to have weighed 100 lbs.
Seems like really strange things for someone to steal off of a porch… And I can’t imagine anyone being able to sell them, though some of them were pretty pricey.
