WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Vandal smashes car windshields

| Crime | West Seattle news

The video and photos were sent by Bill, one of multiple victims of overnight vandalism that damaged multiple car windshields:

Smashed a bunch of windshields on Avalon last night in West Seattle. Here’s a couple photos, but there’s a lot more car smashed.

My car is barely drivable for a one-way trip to work early morning as a healthcare provider. Hopefully it’s replaced before I start my way home.

We’ll add the police-report number when we get it (please let us know if you were also a victim and already have one).

People are sick in the head. This is absolutely maddening. I’m so sorry.

I hope they catch this guy and make him pay restitution. I was not amused to find out that comprehensive covers glass on my newer car because windshields are $1500+. It used to be that glass was below my deductible. I might be saving money? smh

I checked my insurance last year and glass wasn’t covered. For a 2017 Tacoma, it only cost $11/month to go from $500 to $0 deductible. Totally paid off with one windshield replacement. You should compare rates an options, might be surprised like I was.

Eric1 – I agree. Many people are already struggling to pay bills the additional expense of a new windshield IS awful. Catching and making the perp pay restitution is the only just outcome.
