WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Rooftop tent taken; dumped-likely-stolen lawn mower

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two items in West Seattle Crime Watch:

TENT TAKEN: From Coleman:

My iKamper Rooftop Tent was stolen last night off my truck. I live at 32nd and Holdon. My neighbor saw two men attaching the tent to their white 2004 Chevy Impala with a bright green compression strap. No rack. The tent would stand out like a sore thumb on their car. Here is a picture of my truck.

My kids are super upset about it. Maybe someone will spot it. The police case number is 2022-2747719.

MISSING A LAWN MOWER? A Seattle Parks employee texted to say they’ve found one:

We have recovered a lawn mower from one of our parks and it looks rather new. I think someone in the community is missing it; please contact 206-684-7475 with the make and model.

Now we need to watch our rooftop camper tents?!!! Unbelievable what thieves are stealing.

Anyone with a rooftop tent had better make sure it can’t come off. Seems like teams of 2 people with power tools are taking them.This is like the 4th one recently

Hmmm, now who would steal something like that?

Feels like it is getting to the point of having to put AirTag trackers on everything we own

It was two people that stole the tent and they used power tools to remove it. I could tell it wasn’t an easy removal. The tent weighs 300+ pounds. Also the tent is locked and they don’t have a key. So they will have to break the locks to open it. The tent will be useless then. These people are really stupid. Good luck trying to sell it. With all the crime in Seattle today, I wouldn’t buy gear for my vehicle. It will just get stolen.

Just saw a RoofNest rooftop tent (still attached to the Ford Ranger bed cap!!!!) hastily thrown into the back of a 90’s gold F-series dually pickup without a front license plate.Thing is I saw the ranger with these parts still attached less than 24hrs ago. Is someone missing these? I called in to report suspicion to the Seattle PD non-emergency but was met with “unless you know the victim personally we cannot do anything, please call 911 if you see a suspicious vehicle without plates driving around in your neighborhood”

Sorry, comment time is over.
