WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Two bicycles stolen, two bicycles found

Each of these two reader reports is about two bicycles:

STOLEN BICYCLES: Zoe says thieves in this truck stole two electric folding bikes from her garage last night between 5:45 and 6:15:

It’s a Chevrolet Silverado that she says “drove by in the alley” off 35th SW between Andover and Dakota, “then came back again and stole the bikes … two men, one with white hair, wearing a mask.” The bikes are “a Jetson bike and Lectric Lite beige.”

DUMPED-LIKELY-STOLEN BICYCLES: From Nancy:

Two adult bicycles were left at my office building around 2 am this morning (July 21, 2023) in the 5400 block of California Ave SW. A light green Electra Cruiser 7 bicycle and a green Takara bicycle.

We don’t yet have police-report #s in either of these cases, so if you have specific information on any of these bikes, let us know and we’ll connect you. (Update) A commenter says they parked the last two bikes there intentionally; we’ve notified the person who reported them.

    These two green bikes are not sumped or stolen I am the owner and they were locked up to prevent being stolen.  They will be retrieved shortly

      I’ve emailed the person who reported them, in case she doesn’t see your comment first. (She was wondering whether to take them to the precinct, which I recommended against, given that the lobby usually isn’t open.)

    Zoe, is there a police report for your stolen bikes? Just  spotted a certain truck and black Jetson-like bike on 18th, a block south of Sanislo.

    Confirmed the green bikes were not dumped we locked them up and lyfted home after a birthday and picked them up the next day hopefully they were still there. It wasn’t an ideal location to park them sorry for the inconvenience but at least they didn’t go missing. It’s really funny our bikes made the West Seattle Blog!

Sorry, comment time is over.
