News from all over - Tacoma

The 911 call a month ago reported a safe abandoned on a downtown street. Police hauled it in and have been looking for its owner ever since.

The black metal safe, 4 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet had some scratches and was hooked to a chain. Someone spotted it March 15 and called 911. A police officer found it on the steep hill of Fourth Street just east of Broadway Avenue.

The officer who found the safe couldn’t budge it and called a tow truck to move it. The safe has been in a secured lot at Bill’s Towing since it was found. It will stay there until the owner is located.

Detective Chris Taylor sent messages to officers within his department and to area law enforcement agencies in the hope of finding out more about the safe. No luck. It didn’t match any description of reported lost or stolen property.
