WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Vandalism rampage; burglary attempt

Two Crime Watch reader reports received today:

FAUNTLEROY VANDALISM RAMPAGE: From Andrew:

Last night woke up to a man beating on cars outside of our home across from Lincoln Park on Fauntleroy. A Neighbor ran outside and scared the man off around 3:10 am.

Neighbor’s car had back window broken through with a log. My car was hit repeatedly with a rock damaging the body and front windshield broken out. The vandal moved on to my wife’s car with a paver stone when he was interrupted and moved on but not before smashing through her front window.

This was reported to police. Possibly related – just south of Lincoln Park, we got a report of glass-breaking vandalism at a RapidRide stop overnight, from a nearby resident who was awakened by “banging” around 2:22 am but didn’t realize what it was until seeing the stop damage.

BURGLARY ATTEMPT: Corey says this happened at a building in the 4100 block of California around 4:30 am:

I was woken up early by a loud car in the alley. Some punks tried to break into our building. I watched from our balcony. When I realized what they were doing, I shouted at them and chased them away. I have a video of this and also called 911 and filed a report. 23-238531.

    This is horrible, I hope the police arrest that criminal before he vandalizes more property. Sorry you had to experience this and crazy to think this guy is roaming around West Seattle.

    Nice work Corey! This how you do it — if you see something, DO SOMETHING. Many people are just plain apathetic. I hope things get better around here soon.

      Thanks.  Next time I’m just going to drop a brick on their car from above. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
