Two reader reports today in West Seattle Crime Watch, about recurring problems:

CONDO BREAK-INS: From Larry:

City Lights on Harbor Condominiums, at 2349 Harbor Ave SW, has experienced multiple burglaries, which include 4 garage break-ins, and 3 instances of car prowls/break-ins. Property was ransacked and stolen. These happened over multiple days and evenings within the past two weeks. The case number is 2021-020761.

PARK CAR PROWLS: From Sue:

People have been getting their car windows smashed out for several months now at Westcrest in both the north and south parking lots. There was a suspect caught in the act (Wednesday) but was able to get away. The car the suspect was in is a Mercedes silver sedan, plate number BUZ6—. If you are parked at Westcrest and see this car, please call 911.

It would be good to get more details about “Park Car Prowls”, from Sue, at Westcrest. Does “caught in the act” mean observed next to a broken window, actually seen breaking it, or…And who were they seen by? I’ve noticed a small SUV periodically parked in the south lot that says “Phoenix Security” on the side. Don’t know who they are, but did they see it?
Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely the police will even respond to a 911 call if someone observes the referenced vehicle, without more information. Does anyone have any?

Sorry, comment time is over.
