Three reader reports in West Seattle Crime Watch, all involving car prowling:
SEAVIEW PROWLERS: Sent by Patrick:
This morning around 6:10 AM there were two people wearing face masks who were seen entering a construction site in Seaview. They exited the site and proceeded to prowl a truck parked on the street using a flashlight. When they noticed one of the subcontractors had already arrived and was watching them, they quickly got into their white Honda Civic and sped off.
Honda was also seen a couple hours later driving slowing around the block and through the alley.
This occurred in the Seaview neighborhood west of California a couple blocks away from the West Seattle Nursery.
Possibly unrelated but there was a construction temporary power cord stolen off the site overnight last week.
Hopefully this could help someone avoid becoming a victim to a car prowl or theft.
ALLEY PROWLER: Also from Seaview, Pauline sent this Sunday morning video of a car prowler:

STOLEN BAG: Nik‘s hoping someone will find his stolen tool bag – the photo shows a side view of it:
I’m writing today to mention and ask about my big red tool bag stolen out of my car, I was parked on Cambridge and 35th Ave SW. It’s a red Hilti tool bag with my hand tools, mostly labeled “Nik Balagot” in paint marker. It’s a long shot , so I’m hoping a community member might have seen it.
