Two cases of incidents involving suspicious people/vehicles in West Seattle neighborhoods – read on:
From Patrick, a short time ago:
At about 11:15 pm my car alarm went off. It was parked outside my house in the driveway. I reached for my keys and shut the alarm off and ran downstairs. There was a small pick-up truck which was directly across from my driveway. I noticed it because there is a greenbelt there and no one parks there at that time of night. I went back upstairs and looked out my window to get a better look at the truck. When I opened the blinds the lights of the truck came on and it took off. It was a reddish, small pickup with an open back. It had a white toolbox in the back by the window. As soon as it took off, I called the police and they responded admirably. There were two cars on my property within about 7 minutes from my call (guessing). This event took place on Dumar Way SW.
And from Joe:
I wanted to get the word out on a suspicious person in Arbor Heights.
At 7:10 (Sunday) evening I noticed a black car that was driving east on 104th St SW turn north on 38th Ave SW that did not belong to any of my neighbors. A short time later a person approached my house walking west on 104th St. He walked past the front of out my house, did an about face and came up my walkway on my front porch and knocked on my door. Both of his hands remaining in his jacket the entire time. Instead of opening the front door to him, my dog and I greeted him on a separate front porch. I said “can I help you” and over my dogs barking he replied “uhhhh I was seeing if you needed yard work.” Our yard is finely manicured right now. I said “no” and he walked back a half block away got into his car and left.
This person is a young light skinned black male. He was wearing baggy jeans, thigh length shirt and thigh length light jacket and had white knitted bear hat (like a stuffed animal) with hanging ear flaps down passed his chin. His landscape vehicle of choice is a newer very dark (looked black) sedan (rounded front and back end) with 22 inch custom black wheels and low profile tires. I believe it was four door and appeared to resemble a Cadillac or Impala. Police were notified.
By the way, the West Seattle Blockwatch Captains Network meets tonight, 6:30 pm, Southwest Precinct (Delridge/Webster) – agenda details here.
