West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen SUV; stolen van; 2 other reader reports

Three Four West Seattle Crime Watch notes today. First, Sydney hopes you can help find her SUV stolen overnight from the 7900 block of 32nd SW:

The back hatch wouldn’t lock. *facesmack* It is a black ’88 Nissan Pathfinder with a small dent left rear bumper, license plate something like 173 VEU. It’s got a rock guard on the hood and some
mud splatter there as well.

(added, from commenter report shortly after we published this) Linda‘s van was stolen in the Fairmount Springs area last night:

Our van was stolen last night – we gave a police report but in case anyone sees it – it’s a maroon 1994 Plymouth Voyager-not super pretty but it also had an air compressor in the back. Stolen off Fauntleroy Way SW. 5900 block. It also has a for-sale sign in it with our phone number.

(back to original report) Here’s a car-prowl report from Aaron:

I just thought I would send a quick note to let you know that we had a car prowl last night in Arbor Heights. Our block on Marine View Drive at 106th Ave SW has been targeted before. This time they broke out a friend’s car window, rummaged through some clothes bags and took a bathroom bag, but nothing of real value.

And GA reports a package-contents theft:

We came home to a torn-open box from Fed Ex at our home (alley of 61st Ave. SW) Sunday evening about 7:00 pm. The box was delivered on Saturday, and we came home Sunday. We reported to police along with a description of the two younger people who neighbors saw near alley on Sunday about 6:30 p.m. This is not a full report, but wanted to alert my neighbors that the woman was seen casing the alley after the theft. The box was taken from the porch, cut into and contents were taken. The box contained art work that we purchased from Louisiana at an auction.

      Thanks, Linda. I will add that to this roundup. I heard that unfolding on the scanner and even tweeted about it at the time – since police mentioned finding someone (you?) out looking for it, while officers were out investigating some other incident involving fireworks that sounded like gunshots – but I didn’t have anything official until your comment here. Hope it is found – TR

    I have been waiting for the write-up about the crime prevention council meeting on burglaries…did I miss it?

Sorry, comment time is over.
