WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Package thefts; car prowls

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two reader reports in West Seattle Crime Watch, both reminders that opportunistic thieves continue to circulate:

PACKAGE THEFTS: Just received from SC:

Just wanted to be a good neighbor and alert folks that this morning and (later)today I had Amazon packages stolen from outside my building on Avalon and Andover.

CAR PROWLERS: “A neighbor on 29th” reported this happened last Wednesday night:

There are car prowlers checking for unlocked doors in the Westwood, baseball fields/Trenton area. I guess I forgot to lock my car … and when I got up my car charger was missing and stuff from the middle console was on the driver seat. Registration and insurance cards were still there. Nothing of value was in the car. So we got lucky. But just a warning to others in the area to not leave anything of value in the car and lock the doors.

I know registration for your car no longer includes your address but it has your name, as do the insurance cards….don’t leave anything in your car with your name on it. The bad people are pretty smart with maximizing their gains and your pains.

Don’t carry your registration or insurance card inside your car. Identity, theft, risk, and more.. simply screenshot it and have them on your phone in case you ever need to produce them for law of Enforcement or an accident
