The family really needs a car, as they are trying to build a new life in America.
This is not how Olena imagined a new life in America. After all, her family was following in the footsteps of their neighbor and friend Olha Myrhodskay, fleeing the devastating war in their native Odessa, Ukraine.“My car was parked in the place where now is a Lexus,” Olena said, pointing to a space filled by a different car.
Her husband discovered early Tuesday morning that their new car was gone, stolen in the parking lot across from their Covington apartment.The day after their KIA was stolen, it ended up here in Renton. Police say the 18-year-old driver ran a red light, struck an unsuspecting driver, and nearly slammed into the nearby Renton Laundry.It is part of a dangerous pattern, say police.
“Having these Hyundais and KIAs that are really easy to break into,” said Sgt. Darren Moss, Jr., Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman, “really makes it a lot easier for these kids to do all this really, really bad stuff.” All of this has left Olena and her family in the lurch. Her husband needs a car to look for work as they adjust to life in this country.“They spent money for the apartment, for traveling from Ukraine, and very expensive, and for the car,” said Olha. “They don’t have money for another car.”The 18-year-old driver is in the King County jail. He already has a long rap sheet.The family has started a GoFundMe account hoping to raise the money to buy a new car.
