WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen red vintage Volvo

| Crime | West Seattle news

Sent by Mike, with the victim’s permission:

My buddy Kevin, who is a longtime employee at Easy Street Records and is responsible for creating every wonderful window display we’ve had in The Junction over the last few decades, had his vehicle stolen yesterday between 1 pm and 9:30 pm in the parking lot attached to Wells Fargo on Alaska and 44th Ave. Kevin is the best and I’m hoping our watchful community will keep an eye out for my friend’s car. If spotted, please call the store at 206-938-EASY (3279).

The car has a collector plate, 5813E.

Gorgeous… Heartbreaker. Will definitely be on the lookout. Always notice the 240s. Best car ever.

Saw someone driving a similar looking Volvo today around 1:30 pm near 39th and Andover. Stood out because there was something hanging from the back passenger door and she stopped and got out to put it back in. Didn’t catch the license plate.

West Seattleite. If that happens CALL 911!!! Not a guarantee police are nearby but will put it on their radar to watch for. If it’s the wrong car no harm no foul. Why is it important to call 911? Was at a cpr class put on by Lynwood FD. Fireman kept repeating that if you come on a fire/medical/police scene CALL 911 and TELL EVERYONE around you to call 911!! He said that it happens MORE THAN YOU THINK that people assume someone else on scene/nearby has called 911 and TURNS OUTNOBODY has called. Seconds count!

Might be a good idea to check with surrounding businesses and also apartment buildings that might have security cameras? Also posting a picture of the car on telephone polesSorry that happened. I will definitely keep an eye out. Bad karma for the jerks that took it!

Awww, really lovely & roomy those 240s. Big bummer it was stolen but someone knew what they were taking. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

So infuriating. Our beloved ‘92 black volvo 240 wagon that all the dog people at Lincoln park know, was stolen parked not far from the path leading down to the beach earlier this afternoon. These vintage loyal steeds hurt to lose 😢We saw this post right after getting ours stolen 😔

Sorry, comment time is over.
