WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen white Harley; precinct’s prevention newsletter

| Crime | Highland Park | Safety | West Seattle news

One more theft to report today – this time, Derek‘s motorcycle:

My white 2000 Harley Davidson Road King police motorcycle was stolen at 1 am this morning on 11th Ave. SW and SW Holden St. Neighbors say they heard it take off around 1 am so I assume ignition was busted. I am offering a cash reward for information leading to my bikes recovery and/or an arrest.

Plate is WA 8G1755; police incident # is 21-215522.

P.S. Motorcycle theft is technically “auto theft” by state law, and that’s one of the categories of crime addressed in this month’s newsletter sent today by Southwest Precinct Crime Prevention Coordinator Jennifer Danner:

As a fellow biker I know they are only materialistic property but motorcycles, especially this one, can have a huge attachment. Eyes peeled. Hopping for a “undamaged” return.

I just saw that 25 people have responded to a stroller being stolen, but not one comment on your beloved motorcycle being stolen. Wow, just wow. Shaking my head… Dude, I’m really sorry this has happened to you and I hope the bike turns up. This just simply sucks.

Scrappy, those stroller comments turned into a complaint of what SPD aren’t enforcing and about a crack house in their neighborhood.But I hear what you’re saying. Also like you, I hope the MC turns up in one piece.

Sorry, comment time is over.
