Some Beach Drive neighbors were contacted by the Seattle Police after 2 am this morning to learn their cars were damaged by punks. Windows were broken on the west side of the street and some of the cars may have items stolen. There are at least four cars that I'm aware of south of Jacobson on Beach Drive.
UPDATE 1:42 PM: We've learned that about 3 - 4 other cars were damaged further south on Beach Drive around the 6000 block.
Thanks to a watchful neighbor, a burglery was stopped earlier this week (on Wednesday afternoon) on the 5900 block of Beach Drive. From the neighbor's email:
A young man about 18-20 years old was taking items from the residence (flat screen TV, stereo equipment, computer equipment, etc) and was putting them in his car parked in front of the house. I observed this from across the street and asked him what he was doing, and his response was “I’m taking these things because they owe me money”. I called 911 and was speaking to the dispatcher when the individual brought out the family dog and put it in his car also. Another note is that the car had no license plates. The police arrived and arrested the suspect and then brought their K-9 unit to search for his accomplices who fled into the neighborhood. I spoke to one police officer who said the suspect had a military type stun-gun and a 14” knife on his possession when arrested.
The suspects car is red in the photo below.

A huge tip of the hat to John for this information. Remember, you can always call 9-1-1 if you see something that doesn't seem right.

Our dear friend~Jeremy Peck was found deceased in the water on Bainbridge Island.
He went missing from West Seattle~last seen at the Admiral Pub on Dec. 23rd~early hours of the 24th. There has been some confusion on the date since the 24th is Xmas Eve and all. Please take a minute to think back~if you were on Alki or any waterfront area in West Seattle between 1:45-4ish am .
I'm thinking not to many people were out so any sightings of a vehicle or people out could help us generate tips. Someone knows what happened and might not even know it.
Thank you

We received an email last night that someone with their dog made a gruesome discovery around 11:00 p.m. A dead cow that hog-tied washed up on the beach around the 5900 block of Beach Drive. Police were called.
Update 8:32 a.m. The home owner needs to deal with getting the cow removed from their beach. The police did come out last and thought that the cow was probably old and may have died from natural causes. The police speculate someone may have been using it for bait!
Why would someone use a cow for bait?
What would they be trying to catch?
Update 4:30 p.m. Here's West Seattle Blog's coverage.
Just south of Jacobson, last night someone ripped off the wheels from a Honda Fit.
It's amazing that crime can take place steps away from our homes while we sleep with no one seeing or hearing a thing.
It's important to report all crimes, including non-emergency, to the Seattle Police Department at (206) 625-5011.
If a crime happens in our neighborhood it's also important to share it with your Block Watch Captain and please consider forwarding it to Beach Drive Blog so we can all be aware and alert of crime trends in our neighborhood.
Sometime last night or this morning someone through a baseball sized rock through the back of a Volvo SUV on the 4700 block of Beach Drive. It does not appear any items were stolen.
If you witnessed anything or if this happened to you as well, please send us an email.
UPDATE: Apparently a couple of other cars were vandalized on Beach Drive too. I also read in the West Seattle Blog forums that someone noticed 6 cars struck by vandals on Beach Drive.
