On Monday we published a reader report about a garage break-in in Fauntleroy, and the victim’s discovery of someone else’s stuff dumped nearby. It appears some of that belonged to a nearby resident. Now we have two more Fauntleroy break-in reports:

STORE BURGLARY: Al sent this photo, taken at the gas-station mini-mart near the north end of Lincoln Park this morning:

Al says the person on duty would only say it happened around 3:30 am. We checked the police log and radio archives; there was a call about a burglary alarm at 3:30 am, then a call categorized “commercial burglary” just before 5. We’ve had a request out to SPD for the narrative since this morning; they’ve told us twice that it is awaiting a supervisor’s approval. If we get the report tomorrow, we’ll add information here.

ADDED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: Here’s the narrative, with redactions:

On 04/28/2026 at 0325 hours I was working uniformed patrol for the Seattle Police Department as unit 3W3 with my partner XXXX. I responded to an alarm call at 74XX Fauntleroy Wy Sw, Lincoln Food Mart. The call notes read as follows:

(OWNER REPORTS) AUDIBLE COMMERCIAL BURG, TRIP/0307, COV/ZONE 1 FRONT DOOR, VER/SPOKE WITH KEYHOLDER WITH VIDEO, DID NOT MENTION WHAT HE SAW ON CAMERAS, WILL BE RESPONDING TO LOCATION ETA 5 MINS

I arrived on scene and spoke to the keyholder XXXX. The involved business XXXX Mart had extensive damage to the door frame, windows, ice box and pillars. I captured multiple photos of the damage to the business and uploaded these photos to evidence.com.

XXXX was able to provide officers with video footage of the incident from within the store. Officers watched the video footage and the footage showed the following: At approximately, 02:50; what appeared to be a U-Haul was utilized to force entry into the business. Two subjects utilized a chain that latched to the door frame and the vehicle. The subject’s were able to open the XXXX. There was an inner gate inside of the business that the subject’s were unable to open. Due to this, the subjects backed their vehicle toward the business striking pillars and shattering windows in the business. The subjects were unable to successfully gain access to the building and drove away from the scene.

The estimate of damage that XXXX provided is roughly 20,000-25,000 thousand dollars. Due to damage to the pillars, door frame, glass and merchandise.

It should be noted that it is XXXX. However, it appears that the vehicle had XXXX.

The suspects can be described as follows: 2 Males, wearing dark clothing.

GARAGE BURGLARY: The video and report were sent late last night by Natalie near 45th SW and SW Director:

Just a heads up for Wildwood/Endolyne neighbors. We had 2 guys prowling around our apartment garage at 4 am (Monday) morning. They took a knife from the 4Runner and seemed to be casing the place. … Stay vigilant everyone!
