One West Seattle Crime Watch reader report so far today:

Sarah sent the video and photos, reporting this Christmas Eve theft:

Our car trailer/dolly was stolen from our house near Madison Middle School at 7 am on Christmas Eve. The trailer was next to our garage, near the alley. We used the trailer to pull a car behind an RV and it is worth ~$1000. The police report number is 2020-353004, and additional details on the trailer ,,, are below. We would greatly appreciate any tips to locate the trailer or the perpetrators!

Carson heavy duty 3500 lb. axel capacity tow dolly in excellent condition with spare tire (not shown) and LED lights. Includes 7 way connector to be used with the electric breaks and 5 pin (w/o electric breaks) to be used when the towing car does not have a 7 way connection.

As a flat-tower behind an RV I know how much this sucks. That was a decent dolly too. I lock all my toys up. My truck that I park on the street is always disabled with a kill switch and removed battery for longer parks. My trailer has a tongue lock and a wheel lock to keep this type of theft from happening so quickly. It won’t stop the determined thief but this was way too easy to steal.

Is that a light bar on the top of the vehicle? Can’t tell. Pretty unique if so. When it pulls away I don’t think it is, but while it’s idling there it looks like it, but could be the video quality. The low rumble sure sounds like an American 8 cylinder engine. Hope these guys get caught…and punished enough to not do this again.
