WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Mail theft; car vandalism

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two reader reports in West Seattle Crime Watch:

MAIL THEFT: Helen sent this just before 12:30 pm: “Just reported mail thief to 911. Seen at 25th SW/SW Brandon. Rummaging and stealing mail. Headed south on Delridge — Black man, gray fleece, black bandana as mask.”

CARS VANDALIZED: From Susan:

At least two cars in the 5000 block of California Ave SW were vandalized sometime between 5:30 p.m. on March 18 and 6:30 p.m. on March 19 (likely during the night). The vandals kicked the driver’s-side door of my car and the car behind me, leaving a large dent in each with a shoe print in the middle of the dent. … This has been reported to Seattle PD. Anyone else whose car sustained damage might want to report it. It seems likely that the vandals were just walking down the middle of the street kicking dents in cars. If anyone has any information, please comment. Thanks!

Sorry about the vandalism. So senseless. As a PSA I can recommend a simple dent puller that will pull that dent right out. I’ve used them on my cars and they work great. You basically hot glue a pad to the dent then use the metal slider to pop the dent out. The hot glue peels right off the dent when done.

Mail theft – see Crime Watch from a few days ago.REPEAT MAIL-THEFT SUSPECT: 37-year-old Jason A. Turner is back in jail for the second time since his release 16 days after he was charged with felony mail-theft. He is the man police have arrested multiple times on suspicion of mail theft, usually in the North Delridge area, a. This time, he was arrested elsewhere, accused of shoplifting $224 worth of merchandise from the SODO Home Depot; he had been ordered in January to stay out of all of the chain’s stores for three years. The KCPAO tells us they requested Wednesday that he be held on $5,000 bail; District Court Judge Fa’amomoi Masaniai set bail at half that. This arrest came four days after Turner spent a day in the South King County SCORE municipal jail for a theft warrant. He is due back in court this afternoon. (ADDED SATURDAY: He was released Friday night.)

who does it possibly benefit to have this guy on the streets committing “low level” crimes repeatedly? if you add up all the stuff he’s stolen its really not that minor – multiply that by the other repeat repeat repeat offenders and it’s even less minor.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.Look up this and you will find the answers.

Every child tests boundaries, it’s trial and error. If there are no boundaries (citizen law), there is no error. The boundaries are set by our elected officials. If our officials negate the consequences of the law, the boundaries have no purpose.

Sorry, comment time is over.
