From two people who want you to know what happened to them – read on:
First, this just arrived in the WSB inbox:
I just wanted to inform readers of something strange that just happened. I live near 16th Ave SW and Trenton. I got a knock at the door about 3:30, but didn’t answer it because I don’t answer the door when I’m home alone for safety reasons. So, I just ignored it. A minute later a big beater truck backed into my yard and a guy hopped out and took a washer/dryer that was sitting in our yard. We were wanting to get rid of it anyways, however, I’m concerned about someone coming onto our property without permission. He was a tall, African-American man. I wasn’t able to get the license plate number.
We wrote back for a few more details – the victim didn’t get the make of the truck but says it was light blue.
This report came in last Friday but we lost it till the sender kindly wrote in to remind us:
We are remodeling a home in the 48th & Spokane area. Our contractors are there all during the day but sometime between 5pm Wed evening and 8am Thursday morning someone tried to break into the home through the back basement door. They were trying to pry the door open and did substantial cosmetic damage but the deadlock held, thank goodness. Just thought the neighborhood should know and being new to that part of West Seattle, we hope it’s not a common occurence. Maybe someone trying to get in to get the tools?
If you see this before 7 pm Tuesday – one more pitch, the West Seattle Community Safety Partnership Meeting is the place to be tonight.
