West Seattle Crime Watch: Latest 2 reports

Here are 2 of the latest out of the WSB inbox – click ahead:

First, from someone who wants to be anonymous:

My housesitter’s car was broken into (Sunday) night (7300 block of 28th ave sw) [map]. They broke the window and stole her iPod (I don’t know if it was in view) and tried to steal the stereo. They also seem to have taken my mail – no mail was in the mailbox and I found an envelope nearby. I also recently had 2 Netflix movies stolen. Locking mailbox gets installed today.

Next, from Joleen:

(My brother’s) 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass (green), was stolen from near 26th Ave SW and Juneau [map] (Saturday) night. If anyone has any information on this, call him at 2063542782.

    I’m the first incident up there, the car break-in. Just thought I’d add that my housesitter’s iPod was in the glove box, not in view. And it is at least my 3rd mail theft, including a box from the front porch.

    I am so glad that your brother go his car back it sounds like me, I stumbled upon my car to and I was able to recover it last Friday. It was stolen last month and dumped 6 blocks from home. It was abandoned for 3 weeks in the neighborhood of 45th and Dakota why no one turned it in I have know idea but in any case I have it back home. I am in the process of getting estimates for replacing the carpet and seat that got wet from the window being left opened and some damaged wiring.

    Toyota was found(above post),and thief was arrested earlier tonight.guess he spent the day stealing cars,and officers followed him to his Gatewood residence.initials are R.T. and he should be in the king county jail registry.id post his name,but I think there’s rules on here.

    Dawson, thanks, yes, we don’t publish names until people are charged but I will check the register so I can track the case. That might explain a Gatewood police response someone asked us about … TR
    .
    (added 8 mins later) Nobody in the King County Jail tonight booked on vehicle theft, fwiw, and nobody with those initials. Will ask police about the case tomorrow.

    He’s now in the registry,his 5th,or 6th arrest within the year.he also had a firearm on him,so he received MULTIPLE charges,and has no bail.

      Thanks, DS. I’m also checking with police this morning to see if we can find out anything more so we can mention this in a separate story – TR
