WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen black Harley

3:27 PM: Lots of good work by WSB readers lately getting stolen stuff back to their owners, so here’s something else to look for – a stolen motorcycle. The report and photo are from Rebecca, who says this happened last night in Highland Park:

My husband’s black Harley Davidson motorcycle was stolen from the driveway in the alley between SW Kenyon and Portland St (near 11th SW). The license plate is 0F0048 and the police report case number is 22-64607.

9:43 PM: Rebecca found out from neighbors that a red Jeep towing a trailer took the motorcycle away.

Distinctive. Here is to getting it back unharmed

Someone attempted to steal my motorcycle last summer, but stopped immediately once the cover was off and saw I had a disc lock. It was only $59 and worked as a deterrent. They even have ones with alarms now which I plan to upgrade this year. I really hope you get the bike back or have decent insurance, it just sucks..

Thank you very much. And I appreciate the tip!

Disc locks and steering locks make theft more of a chore. All that’s really left is to lift the bike and Harley’s are heavy! My Softail weighs in, according to the manual, at 700lbs.I had a friend whose 1960’s Triumph Tiger was stolen off the side of highway (the battery died). He came back about an hour later and it was gone. We had all of the MCs in the area looking for it but it never turned up. Our guess is it was converted to parts..quickly.

Sorry, comment time is over.
