The report and photo are from Katherine:
My car was stolen from (the 3800 block of) Beach Drive SW and I’ve reported it to the police. It is a 2018 Hyundai Elantra – Color white – rear window smashed – stolen between 6:15 pm-8:17 pm Wednesday. Thinking it will most likely be dumped somewhere. License plate BRX-1834. Police report # 23-58043.
I’ve experienced two attempted thefts of my Elantra in 2023 so far. Fortunately, I drive a manual, so it doesn’t go very far, but I feel for any automatic Hyundai and Kia owners out there.
I didn’t know you could even buy a car with a manual transmission anymore.
Thank you, Danny. I own a 2013 Elantra, so it’s not eligible for the anti-theft device recall. I feel like a sitting duck…not a matter of if my car will be stolen but when. I look out my window first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and in the middle of the night. I’ve removed everything including registration and floor mats. My previous vehicle, an Acura Integra, was stolen from Lynnwood in 2013. A very surreal experience I don’t care to repeat or wish on anyone. :(
Possible siting an hour ago, white car looks like picture, driver side passenger window covered (likely smashed out) parked in front of known drug/theft house near 99th and 37th in Abor Heights. Saw post, went back to check license but car gone. Siting 3/2/23 aprox 1:30pm.
I think I saw a white Elantra with a flat tire and a tow notice in the parking lot of the Bank of America at 4001 SW Alaska
