We’ve had stretches of several days without Crime Watch reports – you can see this by checking the list on the Crime Watch page – but today we’ve had a couple reports since the ones we published this morning, so here’s a second update: A car theft, and produce theft, both with descriptions shared so that you can help be on the lookout. Read on for both:
First, from Laura (she didn’t mention her neighborhood but we have a followup question out and will add that when answered – update – 41st/Brandon):
Our 2007 Acura TL was stolen from our driveway last night, we think around 7:30 p.m. We have filed a police report and notified insurance. Just another item to add to the frighteningly increasing amount of crime that seems to be taking place in these parts.
It’s gold in color, license plate 321XAA, if any readers see it, could they please call 911 to report it. Thank you.
To Laura’s point: Property crime is what has been higher than usual – and that’s why we spotlight it here in detail so that people can be extra watchful. Violent crime has not risen — just a little context. We report those cases too, of course, but they are infrequent. As we mentioned earlier today, the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting is a good place to hear about trends and ask questions – 7 pm Tuesday at the Southwest Precinct. Meantime, just in from Jake:
My neighbor caught some people stealing grapes from her backyard today (Delridge St, near Hudson) [map]. They were recognized as the same people who have been caught taking food from the Delridge P-Patch in the past. It was two men and a woman in a light blue pickup truck. Please get the word out! Thanks.
