WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Stolen blue sea kayak (Update: Found, thanks to reader!)

| Crime | West Seattle news

ORIGINAL SUNDAY STORY: Sebastian is hoping for help recovering his stolen kayak:

I’m really upset I had my very lovely sea kayak stolen out of my driveway last night and it’s quite alarming – I live at the Tracy Ann Apartments right by Lowman Beach, 6790 Murray Avenue SW. It was an 18 ft Wilderness Concepts sea kayak, Polar Star model, quite expensive, and I believe that it might have been taken after 5:00 a.m. (when) I let my very sick dog out. It was blue, it has a rudder on it, tandem as well – two seater. It was in my parking spot in my driveway.

Sebastian is working on filing a police report; meantime, if you happen to find it, we can connect you with him.

MONDAY UPDATE: As you can see via comments below, a reader spotted it, and Sebastian says that as a result he has his kayak back.

I am almost certain that I just saw this kayak (2:50pm) poking out of the back of a white box truck with faded decals in the east parking lot next to chelan cafe. I saw it from the bike path and it seemed out of place.

I am going to second that, I was cycling back earlier today and happened to notice the oddity. It wasn’t until later this afternoon it dawned on me of the connection. This box truck appeared to have other content in the back but most distinct was the blue kayak. If the owner can confirm I did notice the kayak had a rudder and what could be a similar hatch at the stern of the boat.
