East Hampton
After buying a new hot tub to replace an old one at her Guernsey Lane property, Barbara Zack noticed that someone had been using the new one over the last few months without her permission. On Feb. 17, she found the hot tub turned off and the water level extremely low, so low it was close to burning out the motor. She filed a report the next day.
East Hampton Village
A passing driver saw someone in a pickup truck removing new sod from the Maidstone Club on the afternoon of Feb. 18. She reported the suspicious activity and police searched the area. They found an employee who said he had been with the sod and did not notice anything suspicious.
Police checked a Huntting Lane house on the evening of Feb. 19 after someone was reported to be walking on the roof. No one was found.
Damage caused by construction vehicles parked on Buell Lane and a village-owned right of way, was reported last Thursday. Police told the neighbor who complained that the construction company would ultimately be responsible for correcting the damage its workers had caused, or it would be in violation of the village code. An officer spoke to the contractor on site, who said he was aware he had to make repairs.
Sag Harbor Village
Andrew Poster, one of the tenants displaced after the Sag Harbor Laundromat fire in November, went to his apartment above the Main Street laundry to get a few things and noticed a large dent in the door. No entry had been made, but he reported it to police on Feb. 20.
Montauk
A 2010 Subaru Outback was reported stolen on Feb. 16 from the rear parking lot at Naturally Good on Montauk Highway. Robert J. Miller and Nikol Nimkova, who live in the hamlet, said Ms. Nimkova parked the vehicle there around 7:30 a.m. and it was missing by 5 p.m. Police put out a “be on the lookout” notice to all departments.
A woman on Willis Point Road phoned police on Feb. 8 to complain that a neighbor had trimmed some trees that did not belong to her. One narrow section of trees and brush, between two driveways, contained a nature trail that is part of East Hampton Town’s Culloden Point Nature Preserve, police said. The woman said her neighbor’s intent was to get a better view of Fort Pond Bay. Police referred the matter to code enforcement.
