A newly-opened boutique store in Seattle has suffered two 'crash-and-grab' burglaries within four days as the worrying trend spreads across the state.
Rush Hour, which specializes in buying, selling, and trading sneakers, streetwear, and vintage items, was smashed into just before 5am on November 17 using a stolen Chevrolet Silverado.
The thieves then ran inside to steal their merchandise but the owners of the store were optimistic this would not deter them and hoped to recoup some their losses on Black Friday.
But they were again targeted by thieves on November 20 who used a stolen Kia Sedona to crash through the store front and take high-priced items which were left behind in the first raid.
Seattle police have said they are seeing more criminals using stolen cars to ram into stores as a tactic to steal expensive goods.
The owners of Rush Hour shared a video on Instagram following the first burglary to say they were not 'down' about the situation.
'We're never going anywhere,' Sean said. 'We're open, the store is still open. Show some support.'
However, a second car smashed into their store and more items were looted from their business.
'I’d hate to say they didn’t take much because they took something,' co-owner Key told Kiro7.
'They’re putting a dent in what business needs to be done, what we need to have the shop flowing.
'Everything is valuable to me in the shop. This is something we built from the ground up.'
'Someone stole a Kia, ran into the shop, typical. It’s been happening a lot lately, unfortunately, happened to our business which we just started a couple of months ago.'
The store has now been boarded up and a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money to help with repairs.

I guess they couldn’t wait till “Black” Friday.
I guess every day is “Black” Friday.
They'll be back.
How much does the State of Washington let them steal before it’s a felony?
"Let's open up a business that caters to the exact demographic that has made smash and grab looting a recreational sport."
Try to do anything to deter these scum, and "law enforcement" will swarm you like gangbusters.
Sneakers, sweatwear, etc. sounds like the work of Teenz
Wish every business owner in Seattle could just pack up and leave.
Just more children of Obeyme.
Indeed.
Just Commiefornia, Commierado and Minnesota.
A pole barrier (bollard) business could make a KILLING in these areas, so to speak.. and be sure to FILL THEM WITH CEMENT, TOO!
Good question!

For those who want to remember how beautiful Seattle once was, here’s Perry Como:

The cop writing sees headlights but when the car crashes into the police station the headlights are off.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEIR MOTHERS ARE THEIR FATHER FIGURES. This explains a lot of the rage and anger.
Any description of the perpetrators by any chance?
(FILL THEM WITH CEMENT, TOO!)
And 3 or 4 rebar
Well the interior of the police station was well lit so no need for car lights.
