| Crime | West Seattle news

Two reader reports so far today:

ROCK THROWN: From T:

I live at an apartment on Edmunds and 42nd Ave SW. About 3:15 am, a rock was thrown into our sliding glass door and shattered it. It landed in my dog’s bowl and broke that too. There is glass all over the living room – I was asleep on the couch when this happened.

If anyone saw anything, a police report has been filed.

The temporary number for that is T00017786.

DUMPED TABLETS: Sent by M:

Wanted to let readers know that I found 2 tablets dumped in the street near 35th & Trenton this morning.
One was a kid’s and one was an adult’s, based on the cases. The adult’s tablet seems to still function. The kid’s one seems damaged though. If they can identify the brand of the tablet and describe the cases, happy to get them reunited with the owner!

I’m sorry that happened to you. How violating and scary. Is your landlord able to repair today so that you are safe and warm?

The same thing (rock thrown through sliding glass door) happened at my building a few months ago. I was home at the time and witnessed it and called police. Probably the same guy. He seemed like he was mentally unstable, talking to voices.

Regarding the rock through the window – if this is the Elan 41 building, then this is the second incident of this type in the last month or two. I own a rental in this area. There is an unstable individual who lives within steps of Elan 41, who threatened my tenants with a large rock a few weeks ago. Someone in this area must have a security camera. Crisis Intervention is aware of this individual and they are building a case with the goal of stepping in to assist. Hidalgo, do you recall what the person looked like?

Here is how any other major city I have lived in the U.S. would “step in and assist”… Arrest the deranged person threatening people with rocks and destroying property. I live on that block and it’s a free for all.

Sorry, comment time is over.
