West Seattle Crime Watch: Bike reunion! Plus, 2 more dumped/found. Also: Video of burglar stealing 2 at once

Bicycle theft is today’s West Seattle Crime Watch theme, so far. Good news first:

BIKE REUNION: Shortly after we published word from Melissa that her son’s bicycle had been stolen and another left in its place, a reader at Westwood Village reported a bike matching the stolen one’s description had been found dumped at the center. We pointed Melissa to WWV and a reunion ensued! (The bike she found hasn’t been claimed yet, though.)

2 MORE BIKES DUMPED/FOUND: This just turned up in Fauntlee Hills:

And this one in Seaview:

Either one yours? Let us know so we can point you to it.

BURGLAR STEALS 2 BIKES AT ONCE: Here are three short security-cam videos sent by a burglary victim – first, prowling cars in her driveway; then coming back – after stealing the garage opener rom one car – and breaking into the garage; finally, leaving while stealing two bikes at once.

This happened in the span of two early-morning hours on October 17th near South Seattle College on Puget Ridge. The bikes are “a women’s 2017 white Vita specialized bike, size small, and a men’s 2017 Sirrus carbon fiber, size medium.” If you have any information, the SPD incident # is 18-388463.

    Any info on how the burglar got into the car to get the garage door opener?

    Do burglars not carry cell phones?  Can’t we simply pull up cell phone location records to find out who that is?I believe with transparent cell tower reporting and closed-circuit video we could end property crime.

Sorry, comment time is over.
