We don’t have any way to keep official count, but here’s what we’ve heard of in the last week:
- Molly Moon’s was robbed at gunpoint this past week. We don’t have any more details of this, just heard it from two community leaders.
- Jon, who lives on 40th near I-5, twittered Saturday night: “Somebody broke in our back door. I am so done with this f***ing house” and “Nothing of mine was jacked, I don’t think–and everyone is ok. But roomie had a bunch of stuff yanked.” Later, he added “True story: thieves moved my headphones, but they left my white 30gig Zune untouched. Eh… security by obscurity?”
- The same night, Geoff twittered “3 Shoreline police cars outside @ 38th & Burke. Heard yelling & siren but have no idea what is the cause. Possibly related??” followed by “Roommate just got the lowdown, noisy undercover drug bust. Dealer busted in his car, plenty of undercover cops in multiple cars.”
- Colleen says two men were pickpocketed at Changes last week.
- Our friend JLo had his brand new Mac laptop stolen from his car in the QFC parking lot (yes, the doors were locked; apparently, that’s not such a big deal with older Hondas).
As always, please be careful people (though when doors are kicked in, we’re not sure what “careful” means).
If you want to chat with an police department rep about it, Diane Horswell of the Seattle Police Department will be at the Wallingford Community Council meeting next Wednesday, October 7th in Room 202 of the Good Shepherd Center. The meeting runs 7 – 9 pm, and you’ll also have an opportunity to talk with Kathleen Cromp, the Senior Director of the now sadly doomed Wallingford Senior Center.
If you have any more details regarding the above crimes, or a magic bullet that will save us all from our relentless descent into anarchy, please leave in the comments section of this.
