WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Tires slashed

| Crime | West Seattle news

If you live near Jefferson Square, have a vehicle parked on the street, and haven’t used it yet today, Jake‘s report might be of interest:

At least six cars along the Jefferson Square block of 41st Ave SW had their tires slashed. Perpetrator(s) were not seen but a young man’s voice was heard. If you live in the area and parked on the street last night, check your tires.

That was Jake’s initial note this morning, with the time frame believed to be in the 9 pm hour, but then he sent this:

I’m hearing new reports from neighbors of seeing cars attempting to drive with flat tires on 41st Ave SW throughout the day yesterday. The slashing spree may have started earlier or gone on throughout the day.

If it happened to you, here’s where to file a report online.

Mental illness, drugs or just plain lack of anger management seems to pervade these days

So no accountability! Always something else to blame it on.

Are you sure it’s not an anti-car zealot, out saving the planet? Or maybe (based on a comment in WSB a couple weeks ago) retribution for clearing the homeless camp at the end of Alaska St?

Holding people accountable is important. It is also important to have an understanding of causality.

Ummm… Poor life choices in many cases (Certainly not all.) ??

  Likely all of the above.

Contact your insurance company for the tire damage even if you just have collision coverage. This can be considered “underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage” because its a hit and run which could be included in your basic collision coverage. It unfortunate to have a car damaged by something not under your control.

Sorry, comment time is over.
