READER REPORTS: Prowler/peeper returns; recognize this car?

PROWLER/PEEPER RETURNS: A North Admiral resident (California near Palm), reports, “This guy has entered our gated area twice from the alley to California. The first time was 1/15/25 at 6:15 a.m., and the second was today at 6:06 a.m. I wanted to let you know so I can warn others in the area. I have alerted our neighborhood watch group, the building owner where the guy was peeping, and the tenant.” This clip is a closer look as he opens the gate. Police report # is 25-035150.

RECOGNIZE THIS CAR? Possibly stolen, says the reader who’s noticed it for “some days now”:

I live on 44th Ave SW between Oregon and Genesee and noticed an unfamiliar car parked for quite a few days now. Initially, its lights were on and now they are not, probably a dead battery at this point. It seems like maybe someone stole the car and dumped it. Hoping the owner recognizes it and can get their car back.

They’ll be reporting it to police.

Can you use the find I fix it app to report possibly stolen cars? Or do you need to call the police?

WSB February 7, 2025 (8:56 pm)

Please call 911 first if you have reason to believe a car was stolen (especially if there’s telltale signs like damaged ignition, broken window).

That person peeping/casing is creepy. Glad you got such a clear view of his face. Maybe someone will recognize him.

Is this an elderly man? I’m unable to determine his age on my phone. I wonder if other neighbors have footage of him. He seems to be targeting a specific unit

If you look at the other picture, the one in the story this person is not an older/elderly man This clip is a closer look

  Holy crap, that’s not even close to what I was seeing in the other video. Thank you. I’d definitely get some people to hang out on your block.

Moves a little bit like an older, if not elderly, man. Very distinctive hair cut – almost like a military “high and tight.”

Alki resident February 7, 2025 (10:24 pm)

Someone needs to set up a camera closer to him. He’s obviously clueless there’s a camera. He’ll definitely be back. His timing is consistent and it would be amazing if someone was sitting in their car watching for him to show up a few houses away.

  There’s a link in the text of the article for a closer look. The creeps face is quite clear in that video.

I disagree. That’s not a confused elderly man. This is a creeper. His movements are deliberate. He doesn’t want to be seen or heard.

KT February 8, 2025 (5:50 am)

That peeper guy looks more confused than menacing to me. Could it be someone with dementia out for a morning walk?

Julia February 8, 2025 (8:42 am)

The guy at the gate is a different person

LovelySonni February 9, 2025 (10:42 am)

I thought that at first also. he’s just got a second hood on that is covering his hair completely in one of the videos

HS February 8, 2025 (11:40 am)

That’s scary. He appears to be a man in his 30’s and completely aware of what he’s doing, just doing everything he can to be quiet. That’s not a confused person, that’s a man peeping through a window watching someone inside. He even gets on his top toes to get a better view.

AH February 8, 2025 (2:26 pm)

I saw the creeper guy around 1:30pm today (2/8) at the bus stop at 15th Ave SW and SW Roxbury St in Whitecenter!! He was wearing the same jacket and hoodie.

Lauren February 8, 2025 (4:17 pm)

Hopefully you called SPD

Suzanne February 8, 2025 (6:07 pm)

Extremely disconcerting. He knows exactly what he’s doing as he looks around to make sure he’s not being watched as he observes the innocent people inside the house. He’s fully focused on them instead of minding his own business. Total creeper.

For the person who thinks he’s elderly, confused, or this is an innocent situation, check the videos showing him close up. He’s in his 30’s or 40’s and is clearly healthy. There’s nothing innocent about this guy.

I am so glad you posted this, I’m a neighbor and just so happened to see him walk down that side view except it was during the day within the last 2 days. He seemed to be in his early 30’s and knew there was no exit down the side he was going and I knew immediately he wasn’t familiar so i clocked it. have noticed much more activity in that alley lately and my concern has been growing. Thank you for speaking up and i will be sure to continue keeping an eye out.

Sorry, comment time is over.
