WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen Silverado (update: found); abandoned/vandalized F-350

Both of these reports are from Ty in North Delridge, whose truck was stolen:

My truck was stolen sometime on 6/16/23. It is a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4×4, license plate C78292T. There are cracks on the rear fender on the passenger side. Police report # 23-168808

Shortly after that report, Ty sent this:

I ran across this truck down from my block. It’s a F350 FX4. There aren’t any plates and it’s been vandalized. It’s just south of Juneau and 26th Ave SW across from the Seattle City Light substation.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Ty says the Silverado’s been found, in Lakewood.

    I’m confused, Ty, is the stolen, abandoned, vandalized truck in the field, in the second photo, is that one your truck? or is that a weirdly identical truck that had the same fate as yours?  Either way, sorry about your truck :( I saw the one in the field on my way home. Lots of vehicles get abandoned there. That field is haunted.

      The second photo goes with the second report (broken window). They are similar trucks but not identical if you look closely.

      Where is the location of the field you are referring? Thank you.

        It’s in the article (26th ave sw just south of Juneau–east side of the street), but here’s a google maps pin: tinyurl.com/2p9xmvpv

    What is wrong with people? Why do people commit crime?

      Now that’s a complicated question, but the best answer, by and large, is income differential.

    The tan truck above was recovered in Lakewood! Thank you. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
