West Seattle Crime Watch: Dumped bicycles on the street, on the shore (update: one reunion!)

| Crime | West Seattle news

From the WSB inbox, two reports of dumped-and-likely-stolen bicycles:

34TH/ROXBURY: From Cass:

This red Sekine bike showed up in our yard this morning. I’m hoping the owner reads the blog and can get it back. It’s on the Roxbury side of the 34th SW and SW Roxbury corner.

EMMA SCHMITZ OVERLOOK: Sent anonymously:

Seen while walking in Emma Schmitz park – at the bottom of the north end of the “soon to replaced” sea wall – stolen and dumped? – looks like the brand is Nishiki.

UPDATE: This bike’s been reunited with its owner, per comments!

BACK TO ORIGINAL REPORT: (We hope it never happens to you but if your bike – or anything else! – is stolen, PLEASE report it to police – if it’s found but there’s no record, they can’t make a match. Here’s how. And then please let us know so we can include it in Crime Watch – thank you!)

Scupper brought the Nishiki bike up from the beach and placed it by a bench at Emma Schmitz View Point.

Thank you so much to the person that posted the photo and the person that brought the bike up from the beach. This is my son’s bike that was stolen yesterday and he is thrilled to have it back. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this photo! This is my son’s bike that was stolen yesterday, we are so happy to have found it and we couldn’t have done that without people keeping an eye out for it and posting photos!! Thank you!!

Glad to hear the bike was reconnected to the owner. Our son’s bike was stolen in the past couple of weeks. We reported it to police, but hadn’t let WSB know. I just sent an email with the info and a picture. Hopefully it turns up somewhere. Thank you, WSB, for helping people find stolen items!
