East Hampton

A thief rifled through two unlocked cars shortly before midnight on July 21. Sharon Wolter of Todd Drive told police she noticed the interior light on in her husband’s 2015 Jeep, and saw a man rummaging around. When she opened the front door the man fled, making off with a leather satchel valued at $450, along with $40 in cash and personal identification belonging to her husband. Her own car, a 2013 Volkswagen, was gone through as well, but nothing was taken.

East Hampton Village

Police spotted a woman sitting on a bench by the Nature Trail on David’s Lane with her dog on her lap, and told her dogs were not allowed there. The 24-year-old apologized, saying she had not seen the sign, and left without incident.

A report of an erratic driver sent police looking for a silver Jeep near midnight on July 21. The Jeep was found on North Main Street, parked in front of Hampton Bagels, with a man standing beside it, apparently under the influence. He agreed to walk home after being told not to drive.

Police received a belated report last Thursday of a July 4 incident. A Greenwich, Conn., woman reported leaving her Cartier Tank watch, valued at $4,700, on her towel that day while she went for a walk between Main and Georgica Beaches. When she returned the watch was gone.

Two unleashed-dog tickets were written on July 22, one for an Amagansett resident on Wiborg’s Beach, the other for an East Hampton resident on Main Beach, for letting their dogs run free in restricted areas.

A Manhattan woman with a house on Cottage Avenue called police Friday afternoon, complaining that an officer “had written her daughter a parking ticket in front of her house.” Police visited the woman, pointing out that there are numerous “No Parking from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.” signs on the block. The woman asked that police “knock on her door first, next time.”

Montauk

Marie Mildred Sobel of Holbrook told police it will cost about $500 to repair the rear window of her 2014 Ford Explorer, which was smashed overnight Friday in the lot by the Royal Atlantic Resort. Peter Coen of Bayville said it would cost about the same to replace the rear window of his 2014 Ford, which was also smashed. Mr. Coen’s car was attacked not far away from Ms. Sobel’s, on South Emerson Avenue outside the Ocean End Apartments.

The resident of a house behind the Sloppy Tuna had an unwelcome visitor on Saturday night. Frans Preidel told police a man climbed his fence, crossed the yard, and was staring in his window. Mr. Preidel went outside and the intruder ran away, down the beach.

A custom orange Lightning Bolt paddleboard was stolen from a West Lake Drive backyard on the evening of July 16. The board, with a black lightning bolt and a black foam grip, was valued at $1,600. Loraine DeRose told police she believed someone in a boat took the board, because the house is set back a distance from the road.

Sag Harbor

Police were called to a Rogers Street residence Monday evening after receiving a report that two “suspicious” women had asked to be allowed to enter. Justin Pollock told police the women said they had once lived in the house, and wanted to walk through it. Told no, they went away. Police canvassed the area but they were not to be found.

A Madison Street resident, Stephanie Louise, called police early Friday afternoon. The cesspool in her backyard was apparently collapsing, and she asked that police barricade the area. Police advised her to go to the hardware store, where she could buy a roll of caution tape for her yard.
