WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen beige Silverado; business break-in

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two reports in West Seattle Crime Watch:

STOLEN SILVERADO: The photo and report were sent by Allen:

Our truck was stolen this morning in front of our house on 45th Ave SW, between Hinds and Hanford. It’s a beige 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, plate B71645G. Police report 24-354501.

Call 911 if you find it.

BUSINESS BREAK-IN: We heard a dispatch earlier today for broken glass at West Wings in The Admiral District, so we asked them if they’d been burglarized. According to co-proprietor Paul Burbano, the bar was broken into but damage was minimal; alarms went off so neighbors called SPD, for which West Wings says thanks. “It’s always a terrible thing when this happens around the holidays, of course.” Paul said. “But we’re OK and remain open for business.”

Thanks for mentioning that. For something like that, please call police – FIFI is for non-urgent matters, and possible crime evidence is urgent. West Wings said they’d heard another nearby restaurant was hit too, but I haven’t reported it yet as I don’t have confirmation.

The same block conveniently where there are a few homeless that have now set up camp across the street from West Wings with their multiple shopping carts full of belongings blocking the sidewalk & growing larger by the day? Not saying all homeless are criminals but may be worth SPD officers investigating this burglary to speak with these individuals even if they may have witnessed or heard anything as they sleep outside and directly across the street from West Wings in front of the Brookdale Retirement facility.

me on 28th Ave SW December 23, 2024 (7:02 pm)

My husband’s locked 2005 Silverado SS extended cab (very similar to this one above) was stolen from in front of our house on 28th Ave SW between Thistle and Elmgrove at 4:50am 12/17. I called 911 within 90 seconds of hearing it roar away heading south. The police arrived at our home while I was still on the phone. I suspect someone has a bunch of key copies and are targeting these 2000-2005ish Silverados. If you have one, consider a remote kill switch or hide an AirTag. Wish we had.

Sorry, comment time is over.
