  • As the sun comes out, trailhead parking lots are starting to get packed with cars. Car break-ins and thefts at trailheads are becoming a growing problem. One man decided to document this and found the most targeted trailheads in our area.
    "Is hiking safe? Absolutely. Are there some really bad trailheads? Absolutely," said the man, who asked not to be named for safety reasons,
    He started compiling vehicle break-in data last year after seeing windows smashed at a trailhead.

    Sniper in the bushes would take care of the problem.

      We have more than 1,000 trailheads across the state. How many snipers are there and how much time are they willing to sit around doing nothing? Not a realistic or scalable solution, not to mention you are advocating the death penalty for theft via a vigilante.

    I hike in area that are way out of the Seattle metro. Hikes that require long forest roads to ge to the trail head tend to be safer as thefts will tent not to take the time and effort to get to the trail heads.

      Yes, they will need to enforce that the thieves are not misgendered.

      The data shows that the primary problem is the lack of evidence to support an arrest, not letting criminals off. Funding surveillance cameras would help provide crucial evidence to identify, arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate criminals.

    Why can’t people bring a backpack and put in valuables to take with them on the hike? No valuables means no break ins once the bad guys realize it’s over.
