WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen blue CR-V

| Crime | West Seattle news

Sent by Alki resident April:

My husband’s car was stolen last night. Blue Honda CR-V, damaged driver side door. License plate AWL8452. If you happen to see the car anywhere, please let me know or call the police. This is more of a huge inconvenience than anything. Luckily we did not really have anything valuable in the car and it wasn’t exactly in great shape, but my husband was laid off due to COVID back in March so it’s just a huge hassle and financial burden. Car was stolen yesterday, July 10th on his 40th birthday!

Call 911 if you see it.

I’m sorry to hear about it. What model is that CRV? Ours was 1998 and it was stolen in 2012. About a month later the police called around 2 AM to let us know they had found it in the White Center. The thieves stole the stereo, and other than that not much damage. They were using it to to steal mail because there was a lot of junk mail in the back seat.

Crime is going to rise and get worse when we lose our precinct as part of the cities proposed defunding of the police. I’m for reform but for the Council to make decisions without a vote of the people is absurd. That’s not how a democracy works.We have the right to have a voice.

Be sure to write the entire city Council and let them know how you feel. If the only people they ever hear from are the protesters, they get a lopsided view of what the actual people paying their salaries think. I did that last night, and it was terribly satisfying. Phone calls work too, but a little more time consuming. The city Council webpage allows you to send an email to all of them simultaneously.

Sorry, comment time is over.
