West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen Acura, with new car seat inside

| Crime | West Seattle news

The car is 20 years old – the car seat inside, brand-new – in this West Seattle Crime Watch reader report from Tunisia:

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that last night my husband’s car was stolen. It’s a teal 94 Acura Integra hatchback with visible body damage. There’s dents in the back bumper and a debt on the hood. To make matters worse, our daughter’s brand new car seat was in there. We live on 40th Ave inbetween Oregon and Alaska. The same street where the Honda Fit was messed with :(

If you think you’ve seen it, call 911, as the SPD @getyourcarback stolen-car Twitter feed always advises.

What is the best way to find out if a car is stolen. Neighbor commented a car had been sitting in their apartment lot for a while & not moved. We are thinking about contacting police Monday to check it out. Thanks.

If it hasn’t moved for at least three days, contact police and they will send out parking enforcement. If something looks definitely suspicious – you can call them sooner but be very clear about why you think it’s suspicious (fresh damage, parked bizarrely, something looks weird inside or on it). You can look through the @getyourcarback list of tweets of recently stolen cars but that only includes Seattle reports and is kind of hard to search. http://twitter.com/getyourcarback
