West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen car? Plus, hit-run mystery

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two cars to show you in West Seattle Crime Watch. First:

SEEN IN HIGHLAND PARK: Laura sent us that photo, and before we got the chance to publish it, Gretchen sent a note about the same car, a Nissan Sentra GXE, abandoned at 18th and Cloverdale (map), described as “entire engine block … missing and had four spare tires. No license plates.” And a gutted interior. It’s been reported to SPD.

HIT-AND-RUN MYSTERY: This happened to Brian‘s car early today:

He writes:

I live at 48th SW and Oregon [map]. Last night right before 2:30 am, a red SUV with a black roof and chrome extended grill smashed into my car. I heard the collision and saw the SUV take off heading west on Oregon from my bedroom window but didn’t get the plate.

Any idea whose SUV that was? A report’s been filed with police – case #100658.

Not sure if it is the same car or not, but the first pic looks like a car that was in a wreck with a truck this morning at 9:45 at the intersection by Arrowhead Gardens.

there is a Dodge Durango which is two tone dark red/black, chrome rims, and has ed hardy brand decals that I see frequent the white center area. Does this seem like a match?
