West Seattle Crime Watch: 2 break-ins – 1 car, 1 home

ORIGINAL 8:39 PM REPORT: Robin e-mailed to share this information:

In the interest of alerting our neighbors: our car (in our driveway, in the back yard – but fence gate was open) was rifled through sometime between 3 pm Monday and 10 am Tuesday (today). I think it must have been kids, or at least a “kind” burglar, because they took maps, our tire warranty, hand sanitizer, and a wind up cell phone charger; as well as the case only to my GPS – which they tossed in the alley at the end of the driveway, but left the satellite radio ???? I noticed the passenger door was ajar so I looked in and saw napkins, salt pkgs, and straws on the floor. Our dogs didn’t even bark, or if they did we were bad dog owners and told them “It’s OK.” Anyway, no real harm, just an FYI to folks near Thistle, 22nd, and Delridge [map]. We did file a report with the police.

Worth noting here that the South Delridge/White Center Community Safety Coalition meets this Thursday night – both Seattle Police and King County Sheriff’s Office law enforcers are usually on hand, since this group’s coverage area is on both sides of the line – 6 pm Thursday, St. James Place, 9421 18th SW (map).

ADDED 8:50 PM: We just got word from Justin of a home break-in at 32nd/Trenton (map) that he says police are investigating right now. The burglar/s broke in through the kitchen window and stole items including a laptop.

    32nd and Thistle–neighbor’s car rifled through last Thursday. Enough already!

    Our car was rifled through last Monday night. Stole the ipod we left in it and some plastic bags. But no other damage. We are technically located in the White Center neighborhood, but this is still unusual for our quiet, safe cul-de-sac. Bummer.

    Our car was rifled through last night…nothing of value was stolen. just a mess. husband left the car unlocked so it was easy access. We live on Othello between California and 39th.

    My car has been rifled through I don’t know how many times. The problem is our jails are so full of people who sold a joint to their best friend that there is no punishment for car prowlers, they pretty much just ask them politely not to do it again.

Sorry, comment time is over.
