| Crime | West Seattle news

The report and photo are from Jasper:

I wanted to report my stolen truck – it is a blue 1982 Datsun King Cab. Front bumper is sagging and there’s stickers in the top corners of the back window. License plate 7739F. Stolen from downtown Seattle and last seen yesterday [in West Seattle] between 41st and 42nd Ave on Andover St. but was gone by the time I arrived so it’s driving around. Please contact me at 425-223-6828 if seen.

EVENING UPDATE: Jasper’s pickup has been found, and he says thanks to readers for the help!

My son lives on Beacon Hill and they have had a lot of trouble with vehicles being stolen. Many owners of older trucks have purchased boots and are booting their vehicles when parked on the street.

I saw this same vehicle with collector license plate at 3738 California Ave SW blocking a fire hydrant around 1PM on February 29th, 2024. I will keep an eye out. Suspect might live nearby if truck keeps popping up with sightings in West Seattle.

I think it’s parked in front of the Mormon church.

Get a boot. I tend to walk around. And a house that was under construction had to old school cars. White Mazda and the tiny Japanese pick up truck (always admired it, but too bad it was broken down with mold). My gut said why is the Mazda parked a block near p-patch. Then I saw a groups of Yt people in tattoos. Thought it was the owner making it easy for the tow truck company to pick up to sell it off. Then a few days later, I saw the pick before I head to the gym. Called the police and even dispatcher said I was making a big speculation lol. I did my part…and truth is it was being stolen but I intercept it with a cop tow sticker. It’s too bad the old school Mazda gone…
