Two reader reports in West Seattle Crime Watch so far today:

CAR BREAK-INS: Mat sent the report and video, wondering if anybody recognizes the thieves and/or their vehicle:

I live on Juneau and 26th and last night at 2:17 am at least 4 neighbors including myself had our cars broken into. I filed a police report and have this video.

We’ll add the report # when we get it.

PACKAGE THEFT: Kelsey sent this report from Alki, hoping someone’s found her stolen package:

We had a porch pirate steal a package yesterday Between 12:30 and 5 pm of rental women’s clothes, which is incredibly frustrating as I need to return them! Please be on the lookout in case a Rent The Runway package was ditched somewhere. Our address is 30xx 61st Ave SW – we are on 61st Ave SW between admiral and Stevens. Thanks for being on the lookout!

    The car break-ins were just going through the glove boxes? Not trunks? Did they take anything? Or is this just a hunt for loose handguns?

      It seems like they looked in the whole car for things to steal, although their break in technique and lookout skills could use improvement.  You might want to consider getting better friends who don’t carry guns. Guns in the glovebox usually come from a passenger.  Most drivers with guns put them in the center console.  /s

    The ne’er-do-wells arrested on Alki Ave several nights were most likely selling fentanyl to the porch and car pirates after they fence their booty. Such an innovative supply and marketing industry or some could say “small business” blossoming in the urban jungle of West Seattle. Yes satire!

    Yes, I agree with the person who wrote in asking to know if anything was taken. It helps to understand what’s going on to have more detail.. also I can’t see anything on the video. It doesn’t seem operational on the blog site

    Looks like one of these entrepreneurs is wearing camo pants, and perhaps borrowing their mom’s minivan?

    Did thieves take steal a blue winter jacket from one of the cars? I’m a block away and a nice jacket appeared in my front yard today.

    Too bad a big snarly barking dog was not in the yard to rush up to the fence and make those jerks scram.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
