drater Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Wow, the I-99 corridor taking home half of the top 10. Impressive! Quote
AlpineK Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) The Seattle Metro area takes cake over Yakima in population by a large number therefore Yakima is the winner for auto theft....a small powerhouse. Seattle auto thieves just aren't putting out like they do in Yakima Edited April 25, 2007 by AlpineK Quote
E-rock Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 I heard a rumor that although Seattle auto theft rates are high, the recovery rate is also high, because the cars are mostly stolen by junkies who need a place to shoot up. Anyone know if this is true? Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 I had my car stolen and got it back no worse for wear a week later. Of course, the booming speaker and amp I had put in a day before was gone, but you can sell that stuff for crack, so can you blame them Quote
mattp Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Its because we don't have enough guns in Seattle. If everyone was armed to the teeth, there would be less crime. Quote
EWolfe Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 I am sure we can do better next year. Let's all work on that. Quote
