I received an e-mail just before midnight on 6 July 2018 about a theft at 12216 138th Ave. E. I am posting the e-mail below as I received it:
The house on 12216 138th Ave. E was burgled tonight. The house appears vacant and under construction/remodel and I suspect they were after construction tools, etc.
I heard a crash at about 10 PM. I drove over there and found a turquoise blue, mid to late 90’s Chevy/GMC truck stuck in the mud of the front yard, spinning it’s wheels trying to get unstuck. It had no lights on and I couldn’t see its license plate. I called the police but, while he struggled for a good 10 minutes trying to get out, he finally did and sped up 122nd in his damaged truck.
I went back later to find the garage door open but not sure if it wasn’t just left that way before the apparent robbery. Like I said, the house is under construction with “Private Property” signs all over and a porta-potty in the drive way.
The driveway is a big odd in the way that it curves and I believe the person had loaded up their truck and when trying to back out, they missed the curve and crashed over some large landscaping stone where he got stuck.
Anyway, just thought I’d pass that on. I so wish I was able to get that plate number but didn’t’ want to confront the guy who was obviously in a panic trying to get away.
