She “tends to leave her property in places she visits,” a woman from Martinsville, N.J., admitted, after telling police that someone had stolen her camera at the Point Bar and Grill early Saturday morning.

A woman attempted to pass a counterfeit $100 bill at Espresso Da Asporto around closing time on July 14, according to the restaurant’s owner, who told police she was wearing a black tank top and shorts.

He wanted the incident on record, adding that he would review surveillance footage and email police an image of the woman.
A UPS customer became “confrontational” with his employees on the evening of July 16, the store’s owner told police, stating that the man had entered an employees-only area to yell at him and refused to leave. The customer had called the day before, asking that his packages be left outside the store so he could pick them up after hours, and an employee had seen him do so, the owner said. However, the man had returned that day, upset that they “could have been stolen.” The owner asked only for documentation at this time, but said he might pursue charges in the future.
