Reader reports car prowls, mail thefts overnight

A reader just emailed us to let us know about suspected car prowls and mailbox thefts overnight between Northeast 98th and 101st Streets.

There was apparently a slew of car prowls and mailbox theft along at least 98th, 100th, and 101st steets last night. I know this because my car was among the prowled (only CDs stolen, though), but we did find someone else’s mail in our car and noticed every mailbox on our block was left open this morning. Victims of mail theft may not know they have been victims yet. Thought your readers might like to know. People who have been prowled or had mail stolen should definitely report it, however. Low-dollar-amount thefts can be easily reported online here: http://www.seattle.gov/spd/report/default.htm

Did anybody else notice anything out of the ordinary last night?

  1. There was some major police action at Sacajawea Park parking lot on Thursday night. Five individuals were gathered around the engine compartment of a newer camaro when about eight police cars, maybe more, surrounded them and, apparently, arrested them. Several were cuffed. We didn’t stay up to see if anyone was released. Also found opened mail in the street the next day. Found a debit card in the street as well.

  2. I found some stolen mail in my mailbox this afternoon; the addresses were from all over the neighborhood and all the envelopes had been opened. Seattle police came out and took them to investigate…

  3. I’m not positive my package was stolen, but I did have something noted as “delivered” to me on Wednesday. That said, my mail guy hasn’t always been the most vigilant in following our written instructions for mail.

  4. Your best bet (in this neighborhood anyhow) is to have your packages sent to your workplace if possible. I too have been a victim of mail theft in the past & never have any pkgs sent to the house. Sorry to hear these jerks are still at it!!
