A Hand Lane resident told police last week that an assortment of jewelry belonging to his late wife had gone missing sometime this past year.

An injured fawn was removed from David's Lane and taken to the Southampton Animal Shelter for evaluation at noon on June 23.

On North Main Street that afternoon, a woman showed police a scratch on her driver's side door and maintained that another driver had caused it. After observing the damage, an officer concluded that the damage could not have been done by vehicle two. "Both parties agreed and left scene." 

Montauk 

A $750 Brilliant navy-blue bicycle, with a light-brown seat and handlebar ends, was stolen on June 20 between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Its owner told police it had been left in the Ditch Plain parking lot, but not locked to a bike rack.

At 11 p.m. on June 21, Lulu Kitchen and Bar called to report a customer who was "complaining about the food and being verbally abusive." The man, who told police he had "spent a lot of money and was trying to explain the issues he had with the food," was asked to pay the bill, leave, and not return.

The ongoing landlord-tenant drama on Madison Street had a handyman caught in the crossfire last week. On June 22, the landlord "caused a scene" said the tenant, who is fighting eviction. The landlord, according to police, was on the tenant's property telling her she could not hire her own handyman for repairs. In response, she stepped between him and the handyman, who said he "felt uncomfortable."

Police recorded a bout of road rage last Thursday night when a white male approached another man's car on Hampton Street and spat in the driver's face, reportedly saying, 'What are you gonna do now, you faggot?' When an officer asked him about the alleged behavior, he said his vehicle had been cut off while pulling out of the Gulf gas station, but denied using the offensive word.

A man inside a bathroom stall on Bay Street had been there too long, someone told police on Saturday around 8 a.m. The man left as police arrived and "seemed fine," they reported.

His left hand got stuck under the driver's seat as he went feeling around for his phone, a caller said at 1 a.m. Sunday from a compromised position inside his car, parked on Jermain Street. His hand was starting to hurt, he reported. Sag Harbor heavy rescue extricated man and phone.

It was "not a police matter," an officer told a Hillside Drive East woman who called on Sunday around 9 p.m. about something stuck in her dog's throat. The dog was not observed to be in distress, police said. 

Springs

"The dog appeared to be fine and all four windows were left about six inches down," police concluded after responding last Thursday night to a report of a dog locked in a car on Gann Road.

Wainscott

A man who recalled last seeing his wallet at around 5 p.m. on June 22, when he took it out on Hedges Lane to pay at L.W. Winslow Painting, asked police to keep an eye out for it. It had $1,500 cash inside, he said.
