WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Alley prowler

That’s a framegrab from security video sent by Diane, showing someone casing her alley on the northwest edge of The Junction early Sunday. Here’s her report:

On this past Sunday early morning at 5:45 am, a neighbor saw a black car — no lights — casing mailboxes and cars in our alley — between 44th Ave SW and 45th Ave SW and Genesee and Dakota by the Alaska Junction. The guy broke into my mailbox and checked for open car doors. Enclosed is video capture from outside camera. But can’t see license plate number.

Diane is wondering if anyone else in the area was cased/broken into, and if anyone has security video with the black sedan’s plate more visible. She has filed a police report, temporary tracking number T00007468.

    These look like the exact guys who robbed my house near 33rd and Andover

    I saw this same vehicle in upper Fauntleroy Sunday morning around 7:00AM driving slowly going west on SW Henderson Street and stopping next to cars that were parked on the street.  Both people had dark hoodies and I couldn’t see their faces.

    Looks like a low-trim level Dodge Charger with the newer style temporary plates.  Normally, the people who own the good Dodges (RT trim and above) can afford to feed them because they know the saying that Dodges can pass anything but gas stations.  Maybe these guys are can’t read and need the gas money…

      Dang.  Maybe I shoudn’t talk given my poor proof reading/editing skills.  :)

    This same car tried unsuccessfully to break into our garage two weeks ago in the Admiral District at 3am. Two people dressed in dark hoodies and masks, license plate was grayed out.  Our neighbor provided a picture to us.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
