Police Blotter
Gas Theft
Gas has become such an expensive commodity these days that we are seeing more and more thefts of fuel products in the Hamptons. Two incidents took place in Southampton, one involving a 100-gallon propane tank being stolen from a private home and the other theft being reported from a gas station where $250 in fuel was stolen. Is anybody else sick and tired of hearing about cars that can run forever on one gallon of gas but can't actually be purchased?

New Year's Fight
A fight broke out at a restaurant on New Year's Eve in East Hampton involving a group of people. Police arrived and broke up the fight. No charges were filed, but there were however a lot of resolutions made to not get into anymore fights.

War
A woman in Sag Harbor reported that somebody left a threatening message on her answering machine saying, "The war has just begun." The threat came from an unknown source, but most likely the person who made the threat is not in the Army.

Fight
A man got into a fight at a bar in Hampton Bays and got struck by a bottle on top of his head. When police arrived, the man was still at the bar with a head wound and refused medical attention and appeared to be intoxicated.

Ridiculous
A man in East Hampton was pulled over for speeding and arrested after he was deemed intoxicated by the officer. He was also driving drunk with a child in the car. The man was arrested and charged the full penalty. Good.

Drive By
On the rough streets of the Hamptons, drive-bys sometimes take place. In Sag Harbor three people reported that their cars were shot at with BB guns and their car windows were broken. Businesses in East Hampton also reported a rash of broken windows costing thousands of dollars in damages. Police already have leads on the gangsters packing the BB gun heat and a full investigation is underway.

Computer Trouble
A man in Quogue reported that his laptop computer was stolen and that he was "very concerned" about all of his personal banking and identity information on his laptop. The man has since gotten a new name, a new bank number and a new computer.

Banana By
On the North Fork, a drive-by banana-ing was reported. Nobody was injured from the incident and nobody slipped.

No Direction
A man in Sag Harbor reported that his GPS device had been stolen from his vehicle after he parked his car. He now has no idea where he is.
