After a reader tip, we went over to Super Deli Mart (35th/Barton) to check on a report they’d been broken into overnight. Indeed, the telltale broken window told the story. Part of it, anyway – staff told us that the vaping-related items stolen were worth far less than it will cost to replace the window. According to recorded dispatch audio, their security company got an alarm notification around 2:40 am. If you have any information, the SPD incident number is 24-046976.
So sad and infuriating that this happened! I love Super Deli Mart and live nearby, I’ll have to stop in and support them after this.For those who aren’t familiar, from the outside it may look like your typical convenience store, but it’s anything but with a full deli and a humongous selection of beer and wine. It’s a fun little local place, go support them!
So angry to keep reading about these incidents! Super Deli doesn’t deserve this and neither do any of the many, locally owned WS businesses who have been hit – some, repeatedly! Small business is the backbone of this country and the costs of replacing windows and doors, mitigating losses and just the general feeling of unease the minute you lock the doors for the night take a toll on these community members who work long and hard to create places that we all like to visit. I don’t have the answer, so I won’t say what we “should” do, but there has to be something…right?
And it is the ONLY place in West Seattle to get the old “Hogie’s Corner” style sandwiches!
I saw security car fly up 35th last night around 10pm then a few minutes later back towards high point.
is theft of vaping products a common thread among these break ins? I thought I read something to that effect.
Sorry, comment time is over.
