Catherine emails this morning:

Last night between the hrs of 12:30-8 a.m. our family and business car was stolen from right out front of our house.

This is a travesty for us as we own & operate a small family pickling business and it is our only vehicle to make deliveries of our product to our restaurant accounts throughout the city. Tomorrow is our delivery day so we are pretty upset about what has happened as you can imagine.

To make matters worse we had just purchased $300 worth of pickling jars and put $50 worth of gas in it.

They live at 12th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 100th Street. The license plate is ALC7551.

The car is a 1999 Black Subaru Outback, Limited edition with 2 sunroofs but a few little dings on the right front panel. I have attached the best pic I have of it.

There is a bright red bumper sticker on the back that say’s “Cape Flattery” in white letters that makes it very distinguishable and as I mentioned, the back was completely full of cases of pickling jars as of last night.

Of course the police have been notified and it is not in any impound so it could be anywhere at this point though the police just told me that they are finding many of them near the Children’s Hospital area.

It did not have an alarm or tracking system in it.

Thank you for your help in advance.

According to the police crime map, nine other vehicles have been stolen or prowled in the neighborhood since we last wrote about these crimes.

A bit of good news: Patricia emailed earlier this week to say a stolen adult bike was dumped in her yard and she’d like to get it back to the owner .

Found at 114th and Roosevelt:

Some shady dude ditched a sweet blue Italian bike in our flower bed. We called SPD but they wouldn’t take it because it hadn’t been reported. It has a word lock that is still wrapped around the frame and a tire kit. If you think it’s yours just send me the word. Sure hope we can reunite this beauty with its owner.

  1. Sue, I am sorry to hear that.

    I guess I was worried about getting the club for my car before this weekend (imagining drinks and friends got the prowler’s courage up). I had no idea that week nights weren’t safe either.

  2. My son woke up Tuesday morning to go to college and found a smashed passenger side window and his school backpack gone.. First theft in 20 years for us so now we are part of the club. Had college textbooks and graphing calculator. $$$. We live directly north of the Mall

  3. My wife’s car was nabbed from our driveway sometime Saturday night (after the ROOT replay of the Sounders and before 9am). The police gave us the “80% return rate” and told us to check out Northgate and Children’s Hospital. We rolled around Northgate yesterday, nada.

    If anyone sees a maroon ’95 Legacy Wagon with a corgi sticker and busted-up roof rack, please let us know. Feel free to stop by and leave a note or knock. We are new to the neighbor, having just moved into the corner house at 12th and 92nd. We’d really like the car back.

  4. update: got a call from the police just after midnight last night. They found my husband’s van near 92nd & Linden, parked by a hydrant. All appears to be in good shape and nothing taken.

  5. Two weeks ago I either left our alley-way garage door open or a thief/burglar went in and opened it by entering through our yard. Either way,they failed at trying to steal our 1990 Honda Civic and damaged the ignition.

    We live on 91 ST off 15th.

  6. When they stole my Honda a couple of years ago, they ditched it the next day about five blocks away. No damage, but all personal belongings were gone from the car, 12 extra miles on the odometer.

    They cruise in it for the night and steal things off of porches and go prowling. They sleep in the car (warm and dry, plus a radio). Then in the morning they hock or fence what they’ve stolen, go get more dope, ditch the car and do it all again when night falls.

  7. My husband’s extended-length gold cargo work van was also taken last night from in front of our home.
    We’re at 3rd Ave. NE & NE 95th St. The police officer this morning cited an 80% return rate.

  8. I had my 96 Subaru Outback stolen in front of my house (20th and 88th) in Nov 2012 and it was found a week later at 97th and Roosevelt with a bit of damage and a bunch of garbage in the car. Odds are you will get it back! Subarus are apparently easy to steal.
