West Seattle Crime Watch: Vehicle thefts; vandalized railings

Three reader reports in West Seattle Crime Watch:

CAR STOLEN TODAY: This white 1985 IROC was stolen from the 9400 block of 8th SW early this morning:

Washington plates ALW8548. Please call 911 if you see it.

CAR STOLEN LAST WEEKEND: Ford F150 truck, red, 2006. Stolen from 55th SW between Charlestown and Dakota. We don’t have the plate on this, but if you see this type of truck seemingly abandoned, please call 911 in case it’s the one.

VANDAL ON CAMERA: At 10 pm last Sunday night, a resident in the 3000 block of SW Avalon Way caught surveillance video of someone “bending walkway rails in front of our home for no good reason.” The actual bending is a little distant in their front-door-camera video but the vandal then walked past the door – we asked for a frame grab:

The vandal had a shaved-sides haircut and was wearing a blue jacket and black jeans. This too has been reported to police, who told the victim that “these crimes typically have a pattern,” so if anything similar happened to you, please be sure to file a report.

    What are “bad” jeans?

      Sorry, that’s a bad typo, not that there’s ever a good one. Fixing.

    Is this the best screen cap possible? It should be easy to ID the perp, unless he is not a one legged turtle with a purple shell.

    Perhaps one of the more conspicuous cars you could steal in this city.

      I doubt that car will resurface here.
