East Hampton Town police released a report this week that a Cross Highway residence owned by Robert Vanni had been illegally entered between Sept. 4 and Nov. 11. Mr. Vanni told police several objects had been moved around and it appeared that someone had slept there. The intruder had gained access by smashing a small glass pane on a door, then reaching in and unlocking it. He estimated the cost of repairing the glass pane to be $25. Nothing was stolen.
