Jeannie R. McGuire went to the police on Friday after two women stayed at her house on Crystal Drive, left it in disarray, and ate $20 worth of food from the refrigerator. Ms. McGuire said she found applesauce on the counters, the bathroom rug crumpled in a corner, dirty towels on the bathroom floor, waste on the toilet seat, and spit in the kitchen sink.

Four people, two of whom were wearing paper bag masks, were reportedly throwing eggs at parked cars along Lumber Lane on Halloween night around 8:20 p.m. A passer-by called police, and an officer canvassed the area, but found no sign of the egg-throwers or egged cars.

A homeless man contacted police with a complaint about UPS on Friday. He was advised to follow up with the company’s complaint department and said he would.

Someone entered an East Hollow Road property and cut vines on a tree in the backyard between Oct. 1 and Oct. 10, according to the property owner, who told police he has had previous issues with a neighbor about three branches hanging over the neighbor’s property. The owner, who filed a report on Friday, said the tree was over 50 years old and was of sentimental value and important to him.

Police tracked down a bus that hit a parked van in Gurney’s lot Friday evening and drove away. Josh Strom, the manager, said the bus driver was backing up at about 7:30 p.m. and hit a 2017 Mercedes Sprinter. The driver then pulled forward, causing additional damage to the van’s mirror, which was hyperextended. Mr. Strom said he banged on the bus to try to get the driver’s attention to stop. He asked the bus driver for insurance information, he told police, and the driver got out, looked at the damage, and then drove away without providing any. Police found the bus, a 2008 Setra, on Amagansett Main Street with scratch marks on a back corner. The driver said he left the parking lot because he had to pick up passengers. He was ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.
