Here is the November 2008 Residential Burglary Report. It now includes Victory Heights as well as Pinehurst.
In addition to the residential burglaries listed below, in November there were incidents of mail theft and there was a middle of the night gunfire exchange near 127th and 15th (no injuries). One way to prevent mail theft is to purchase locking mailboxes by yourself or together with neighbors. These are available from a number of vendors. You can also ask your mail carrier for more information.
As always, if you have any questions on crime prevention or if you would like to form a block watch, please contact Diane Horswill (diane.horswill@seattle.gov) at the North Precinct. Also, there is some good information on crime prevention here.
