Three West Seattle Crime Watch notes:

TOOL THEFT: Via text:

This guy stole tools from my work van on SW Orchard St. [in Gatewood] at 9:30 AM. Be on the look out. We did call the SPD and have sent these pictures. Our tools are a large jack hammer in black case and Milwaukee cordless rotohammer with cordless rotohammer Vacuum separate cases. Husky socket set and two Milwaukee parts boxes with miscellaneous parts. All tools and cases have green paint on them. I’d like to thank Jon G, a neighbor, for the pictures.

SPD incident number is 20-136459.

ABANDONED BIKE #1: Scott spotted this next to the future park at 48th/Charlestown:

ABANDONED BIKE #2: No photo, but John spotted a men’s Raleigh bike in the 4700 block of 25th SW.

The alleged tool thief is driving a 2015 or later (earlier models had a round badge on the back) Cadillac Escalade ESV, with a starting MSRP of around $80,000. A rich scumbag stealing someone’s livelihood for kicks, I guess.

I’ve seen parties in 60 ft yachts raid other people’s crab pots!

Nice neighbor. You should be able to spot him. Karma is a powerful tool

Maybe the black SUV is stolen too?

That type of car is heavily used by Uber/Lyft drivers to pick up partygoers/nightlife. With no income from that job it looks like someone found a new job to make those car payments.

Sorry, comment time is over.
