WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Burglars take bikes, tools, ornaments (update: found)

5:09 PM: Jill is hoping at least some of what burglar(s) stole from her garage might turn up:

Our garage got broken into Saturday night and they stole two Rad Power Bikes and tools. That we can get over, but we just discovered that they also stole all of our sentimental Christmas ornaments. I’m just sick about this.

Given that these aren’t of street value, I’m hoping they were dumped somewhere in West Sea. We think there are two Rubbermaid totes of ornaments (can’t recall the tote colors, maybe red, maybe clear?).

Our garage is located on the west side of 44th between Dakota and Genesee and our neighbor saw a White Escalade drive through the alley around 4 or 5 am. That’s unconfirmed as being a car of interest but the only thing we have.

If you find any tossed-aside totes of ornaments (or dumped bikes/tools, for that matter), let us know and we’ll connect you.

7:08 PM: Jill got the ornaments back! Bikes and tools, still out there.

    We are curious as have seen several thefts re garages lately.  Are they breaking a door down, or how are they getting in?   Thanks

      If you haven’t done anything to physically lock it, most garage doors can be easily opened with a pry bar / etc.  Alternatively, if it’s got decorative glass panes, those are very easy to break as well.

    Is it any of the stuff this guy has? He stole from our construction sites in Seattle several times.Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/IPbdUQ4d5Eb

      Nice foil and butane spotted in the first pic.  Seems like a real gem, this guy.

    I saw a similar white Escalade between 4-5am Monday morning scoping out garages in the alley off of SW Walker between 41st/42nd. Sounds like the same vehicle.

    Is the white Escalade  loud,  with a rumbling sound like you would expect from a  muscle car? I observed and heard a loud white Escalade in Arbor Heights area today.

      Could be missing the catalytic converter.

    IF it is the white, loud Escalade, you can often find it parked down at WWV across from the post office and the ball field on SW Trenton.  That car passes my house frequently.

Sorry, comment time is over.
