Hi Folks:
Rahne Kirkham and I were having a great birding day today in S King
County until we went to the mouth of the Cedar River in Renton, WA
about 12:30pm. We were gone from the locked SUV about 15 minutes.
Returned to find the back passenger window broken out, and my purse
and wallet, my day pack, and Rahne's pack gone. I was only about 1
block away (birding in front of the Kayak Center Bldg.) and would have
heard the car alarm if the burgler had tried to open the door or pull
up the latch. So he/she must have crawled partly in to get the goods,
which were mostly behind the rear seat. In that case the alarm
probably remained silent.
We weren't gone long, and there are lots of people who run walk
through there, so I feel the person was experienced at doing "smash
and grabs". Be careful out there.
Yours, Carol Schulz
DesMoines, WA
