East Hampton Village

A Manhattan woman who owns a house on Georgica Road left Spa 27 on Montauk Highway after having been “pampered by the estheticians and massage therapists” on Dec. 20, a police report said. She forgot her multicolored Furla handbag, however, and back at the salon saw that it was gone from where she had left it. After a search, she and the manager found it in a garbage can in the women’s bathroom, minus $400 in cash. The manager told police that the spa had had many customers in and out that evening.

On Dec. 21, a caretaker called police to 36 Briar Patch Road, which abuts the Fulling Mill Farm Preserve. At the preserve’s border police found an unoccupied red 2015 Toyota that had been driven across the expansive lawn. Police ran the license and came up with the name of the vehicle’s owner, not given in the report. She told them she works for the Nature Conservancy and had driven across the lawn to reach a tractor with which she was going to mow the field. No charges were pressed, though the woman was “warned not to drive on private property again.”

A portable bathroom was dropped off at a Buell Lane property, but the owner had not ordered it, and on Dec. 21 she told police she was unsure of how to have it removed. Police suggested she call the company listed on a sticker on the bathroom’s door.

Montauk

The apparently unpopular “Welcome to New York” sign at the intersection of West Lake Drive and Flamingo Avenue was unbolted from its concrete mooring on Dec. 18 and left lying in the grass. Police contacted the New York State Department of Transportation, and the sign was subsequently repositioned.

A mailbox in front of Louise Sasso’s East Lake Drive property was vandalized overnight on Dec. 17. It will cost her $240 to replace, she said. No other mailboxes in the area were damaged that night.

Springs

On Dec. 16, property belonging to a member of the East Hampton Town Board was vandalized for the second time in the last two months. Kathee Burke-Gonzalez woke up the following morning to discover that eggs had been smashed against the siding of her Lincoln Avenue house and against her car, which was parked in the driveway. The house had also been struck by a number of eggs on Nov. 4. Ms. Burke-Gonzalez asked police to increase patrols in the area.
