    Seen a car that matches this one exactly. That’s not from my neighbors. It pulled out of the alley between 98th and 99th Ave SW onto 35th at 7:08am. I called it in but the dispatcher said since I didn’t get the license plate. They won’t send anyone out. Looks like the city laws are not in favor of being proactive in this matter.

      Thanks JW! It was recovered this morning! Its my car (I posted) and I had located it (it had an tracker I hid in it) and called it in 3 times and every time the police took too long to show up to recover it. Thanks for looking out, I appreciate it.

    You are welcome! Their actions really show the level of respect they have for the law. Steal a car then drive it around the same area you stole it from. I hope the suspect was arrested! Or the police got fingerprints to follow up on. If the police focus on recovery rather than arrest. This criminal will most likely make another victim. In the very community that they live in. To fix the problem here. The strategy should be go after the thief or else the crimes will keep happening. If the thief needs a job SPD is hiring. They can change their life around, lol. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
