Interbay home burgled, expensive items stolen

December 16th, 2009 · 43 Comments

To top off a day of neighborhood crime reports, one of our readers wrote about a burglary that occurred at their Interbay home yesterday, Tuesday, December 15, in our forum. They believe the burglary happened during the day while they were at work, and many valuable items were taken. After speaking with neighbors who witnessed some suspicious activity that morning, the victims are hoping to piece together more information. mjd writes,

Yesterday while we were at work, our house was broken into and many items were stolen: 10 electric guitars (mostly vintage), 52″ tv, tivo hd xl, cameras, ipods, white macbook and other items. Since the guitars were stolen without cases we’re hopeful that someone might have seen something.

A neighbor said that in the morning he did notice some strange trucks that said they were recycling trucks (with a generic name like “city recycling” or “western recycling”, but not the actual city recycling trucks). These trucks were large, with an approximately 20-foot red container on the back. The cab was big, but not as big as a typical highway tractor/trailer cab, and the entire vehicles were pretty beat up. These trucks were just hanging out about a block from our home. We’re not sure if they actually had anything to do with it, but it seems worth mentioning.

A search for “Western Recycling” brings up a recycling company that operates solely out of southern Idaho. There were no leads for “City Recycling.” If anyone has seen or heard anything that may be related to this burglary, please reply in the forum or in comments below.

Update 12/17: mjd posted an update in our forum,

It was in Interbay/the NW side of Queen Anne. Apparently another neighbor saw 3 teens he didn’t recognize walking down the alley not long after when the incident probably happened. We’re not sure what is related and what isn’t, but we want to share as much information as possible in case anyone else has seen anything and so others can protect their homes as well.
