A village resident reported on the morning of Dec. 6 that his wallet had gone missing after he left it in his unlocked car, parked at Marine Park on Bay Street, and went to work out at a nearby gym.

Springs
A 62-year-old woman, who has been in the process of moving out of the room she rents in a house on Waterhole Road, complained to police Sunday that the house’s caretaker had entered her room without permission several times within a four-day span. The caretaker acknowledged doing so on one occasion, telling police he had thought he smelled smoke coming from the room. It turned out that the heat had been set to 80 degrees. The woman was advised not to crank it up that high, and the caretaker was told he wasn’t allowed to enter the room without permission.
Also on Sunday, a President Street resident contacted police when she saw, via her doorbell camera, an unknown woman come to her front door, lift the door mat, and then leave. A neighbor later explained that the stranger had been expected there instead, but had mistaken the address.
