READER REPORTS: Early-morning intruder; black pickup stolen (update: found); abandoned bicycles

Three reader reports this morning:

EARLY-MORNING INTRUDER: Via email:

In regards to the police call at 4:10 am on 4700 block of Findlay, that was our house; a woman had locked herself into our enclosed porch in a state of mental crisis; our video picked her up at 1:58 am. She banged on our door at 4 and woke us, claiming her name was Brenda and her dog was in the house. We called 911 and the police assessed her and had an ambulance take her to Harborview. She told them she was from Lynnwood and they have no idea how she got here. She systematically dismantled our porch but no harm otherwise.

    WSB. Curious. Did you hear where the truck was found and the condition it was in?

      “Under the 1st Avenue South Bridge.” Condition, no.

        Owner says ignition was damaged and a window was broken.

    Under the 1st Ave S bridge is a known location for ‘camping’, totally dilapidated vehicles of all sorts, and piles of rubbish. The ‘camping’ appears to be on and off again in that area. I hope the ignition is repairable.

Sorry, comment time is over.
