I heard from a reliable source that they were told by a Tullys employee the day of the laptop theft that an hour before the incident, 4 black male teens were seen in the Tullys parking lot peering in a car of a Tullys employee, being destructive (i.e., ripping out the plants in the parking lot) and that where these these teens attend school may be known to a few of the Tullys employees

The Vida Story is real……but when I spoke to the barrista they said nobody from SPD had followed up which leads me to believe they must have suspects identified, right?

So glad you mentioned that – working on story about Tully’s story being false right now. Also, we confirmed story about Caffe Vita robbery with victim, witness and SPD before publishing.

This account was posted to the Columbia City Parents mailing list alias with the exact same wording on the quotations. We asked at the Genesee Tully’s and they said no such thing happened there. Was this reported first hand or second hand?

Sorry it was a different robbery that day by 4 young Black males Ipod. But I yelled at them anyway and told them when the police got them there is nothing I can do, that Ipod 25 bucks is not worth the charge. I told him to move out of his normal surroundings because if you didn’t do anything and the police are trying to pin stuff on him they will and he will go to jail. doubt it will work with him being a banger tends to limit your freedom of movement and he is one of the ones whom thinks he is smarter than he is.

I think I know those kids. Hopefully they get the kid that stole the computer instead of using this incident it to arrest the one they have wanted to arrest for awhile. I heard that is what the police were doing, trying get the kids to snitch on the one they want, and the first one to point the finger was surprise the one that stole the computer. I wonder if she knew who took her stuff because just because they all ran doesn’t mean they were all in on it could be but the one that stole it could have just done it and ran and everyone else ran. I have been with friends and they do something without telling you and you just run because you know you will be seen as the same even if you had no idea or you will be told to testify and that is very dangerous. Again I am not sure if it is the kids I know I will call them after school and yell at them to see.

On a good note, the Sheriff’s office seems to be having more of a presence in the Vally, particularly around the Alternative School at Rainier and Hudson.

Some lines that caught my eye…

“Gold Coast Cafe” (???)

“Something didn’t sit right with me but I did nothing.”

“There was even a gentleman mugged outside of Noah’s grocery.”

“I’m both encouraged and discouraged by this story/event. First, black youth were actually hanging out in a coffee shop… “
