Crime notes: Follow-ups, pay-phones and burglaries

Mike’s car (mentioned previously) and several others were recovered last Wednesday. It was apparently purloined by a person with a penchant for Subarus, having stolen several without damaging windows or steering locks, ditching one and taking another as-needed, and even leaving the ditched cars parked safely. Mike says:

It was left on a hill, with the tires turned towards the curb, with the brake set. Now that is a nice criminal. I could not find the note of apology though.

The “magazine salesman” (previously) is apparently pretty well-known. His name is Darryl, and he’s been seen everywhere from Cheasty to 23rd and Horton to 18th and Plum to the Central District and Leschi, hawking subscriptions to normally-free magazines and newspapers.

SeattleCrime.com has an account of a robbery and possible attempted rape near Columbia Drive and South Ferdinand, in the middle of the day, two days before Christmas.

Craig Thompson reported to the mailing lists that the pay-phones outside the 76 station at Beacon and 14th, an attractant of nefariousness, have been removed, and the empty booths are soon to follow. Thanks, Craig!

  1. I’m not sure how to post to this blog, or if the list serve is a better forum, but my husband and I were robbed on Monday the 11th sometime between 1pm and 8pm. We are at 19th and Waite. They threw a rock through the back window and rummaged in all our stuff, apparently looking for cash. Im wondering if it’s the same people who were caught today at the Library (BHnw.org) who really focused on ripping off this neighborhood!
    I work from home several days a week and will be part of a daytime blockwatch if there is such a thing, pls contact me. Getting robbed was very unsettling since the area seems so quiet and safe. Hopefully it was one or two individuals, and not a trend for the area…?
