Have we not been promised, on several occasions, increased security and/or increased police presence at Westwood?

This happened in front of our bldg on Alki also. A drunk guy hit 5 cars then GOT OUT OF HIS TRUCK, then got back in and tried to drive away, THEN HE GOT OUT AND RAN! Reported his truck stolen and now his Ins Co says they don’t have enough funds to cover all the cars. Both my cars have been hit on Alki 3X EACH!
