WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Golf car stolen from church; e-bike stolen at school

Two reader reports about transportation thefts:

GOLF CAR STOLEN FROM CHURCH: The report and photo are from Phil:

Places of worship are not exempt from theft. Sometime early morning Valentine’s Day, the storage shed at Fauntleroy Church UCC was broken into and the golf car taken. The golf car is used to help people going from the parking lot to the sanctuary, and for groundskeeping. This golf car is a 1995 Club Car – old but fulfilling the tasks asked of it. If you have any information about its whereabouts, please contact the police (incident number 23-043252) or Fauntleroy Church UCC at 206-932-5600.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Here’s a security-camera photo of the golf car being driven away, toward Barton, with the date/time stamp:

E-BIKE STOLEN AT SCHOOL: This report and photo are from Heather:

Wanted to share that my son’s yellow, REI Co-Op e-bike, which was locked in front of CSIHS, was stolen today during school hours. We will file a police report next, but wanted to put this out there in case anyone comes across it. The battery won’t last forever and without it, it’s quite heavy. People can reach out to me if it’s spotted. 206-698-3051

    Golf cart. Just sayin’.

      No, actually, when it came in as “golf car” I assumed that as well. Started to correct it and then learned via research – never too late to learn something, even after 40+ years of writing/editing/reporting – that if it’s motorized, it’s a golf CAR. The PGA itself even includes this in its stylebook (see page 16)

        Huh.  Learn something every day.  What I can’t figure out, though, is why/how there would exist a *non-motorized* cart.  Who in their right mind would choose to sit in a vehicle that doesn’t move under its own power?

          Per #14 in the document cited above, “carts are generally manual pull/push vehicles that
          transport one bag of clubs.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
