Amagansett

Two tires on a Honda parked in a driveway on Osprey Lane were flat on Monday morning. Robert Conti called police at about 9:45 a.m. when he noticed the tires had been punctured. Police couldn’t find any other cars in the area with similar damage. Mr. Conti estimated it would cost about $400 to buy new tires.

East Hampton

On Oct. 5 a 17-year-old East Hampton High School student told a school officer, Kim Notel, that she had lost $600 in cash. The money was in a wallet inside her Lululemon bag, which she had last seen on a school bus on the way to a Sept. 17 track meet. The bag was turned in to the bus depot on Sept. 30, with everything in it except the cash.

Someone used a $20 bill that wasn’t theirs at Damark’s on Sept. 25. Bruce Damark, the owner of the Three Mile Harbor Road deli, called police at about 4:45 p.m. after a customer placed the bill on the counter to pay for his items, and then went to the back of the store to get something else. That was when someone swiped the $20 and bought lottery tickets.

Luz Ramierez reported the theft of a light blue Huffy mountain bicycle from an Oakview Highway house, sometime between Sept. 24 and Sept. 26. It was worth $100.

East Hampton Village

Dell Cullum, a wildlife photographer, found two arrows in the Nature Preserve duck pond off David’s Lane on Oct. 5. He removed one, but could not reach the second. After he reported the finding to police, the village Department of Puble Works fished the second arrow out of the pond. Police took them as evidence.

Montauk

Two birds, kept in a pen behind a house on West Lake Drive, were killed, but by what or whom is not known. On Sept. 30, police received a call from the homeowner, who had suspicions that his house had been vandalized and his birds hurt (police said he had surveillance cameras). When officers arrived at about 11:10 p.m., they found the main house and two guesthouses in fine condition. Outside, though, they found two large birds dead, with most of their feathers plucked out. Police have been unable to contact the homeowner since then, despite several attempts. They are not sure of the species of bird.

Three fishing rods were stolen from their rod holders on a GMC Sierra pickup truck that was parked Saturday morning in the lower parking area at Turtle Cove. Rodney Reeves of Ocean View, Del., said he put the rods in their place around 5:45 a.m. and then walked the beach. When he returned to his truck at about 8 a.m., they were gone. The gear was worth more than $1,300.

A 15-foot aluminum sailboat mast was reported stolen on Monday from the end of South Lake Drive beach. It had been left next to Frank J. Turano’s 12-foot Laser Pico sailboat on Sept. 7.
