MYSTERY: Box of lost or stolen laptops found in Westwood

| Crime | West Seattle news | Westwood

That photo is courtesy of Daystar Retirement Village (WSB sponsor), whose maintenance director found “a box hidden on our property with about ten laptops with cords and all of the same brand (Dell). A few appear to have kids’ names and some have stickers on them.” They’ve tried contacting police but in the meantime, if you know of anyone missing something like this, through theft or other circumstances, please contact Daystar (which is just east of Roxhill Park, across Barton from Westwood Village).

That laptop probably belongs to a Salesforce employee. That’s their logo and corporate mascot.

The stickers are all Salesforce stickers.If it’s all the same model, and some have those types of stickers,it might be stolen from Salesforce employees
(or maybe Tableau as it’s now part of Salesforce)

Pretty dang low life to steal children’s laptops.

Those aren’t children’s stickers, Salesforce has a large office in Bellevue: https://www.salesforce.com/

Those are SalesForce Logos – this article has been passed onto the SalesForce Security Team – although according to my local SalesForce expert (my husband) Salesforce doesn’t use Dell laptops…so who knows.

Might also be obsolete, worthless computers that someone stuck behind a bush on commercial property to avoid paying the cost of legal disposal.

Anything’s possible, but the Daystar folks wanted to be sure they tried everything they could to get them back to their rightful owner.

Maybe they weren’t aware that it’s free to recycle electronics at various locations:https://ecology.wa.gov/Waste-Toxics/Reducing-recycling-waste/Electronics

not necessarily Salesforce employees, as Salesforce gives those stickers away at conferences, etc.

Could also be a Salesforce customer. The Salesforce Security team should be able to figure it out quickly.

Thanks to WSB, Tracy and each of you that took the time and care to review our plea for assistance with the found box of laptops. Your suggestions regarding Workforce were on point, a Salesforce Representative contacted us, they identified all of the laptops as their property and are back in the hands of the rightful owner.

Again, thank
you everyone!
