On November 14 an iPad and a gym bag containing clothing were taken from a 2006 Mazda in the parking lot at Scarsdale High School. The car's owner parked the car around 5 pm and when he returned at 7 pm the items were gone. Though he thought he locked the car, there were no signs of forced entry.


On 11/15, the guardian of an elderly man who lives on Mamaroneck Road reported that a framed copy of the front page of the newspaper was missing from the home. She suspected that it might have disappeared during the hurricane when the man moved out for a few days. The framed paper was valued at $500.


Identity Theft: A Cushman Road woman realized that she was the victim of identity theft when a 47" television was delivered to her home on September 21. It turns out the purchase had been made online, using her daughter's credit card number. Chase was able to credit her for the purchase but the company refused to take back the television and told her she would have to pay $175 plus a 20% restocking fee.

On 11/16 a Willow Road man reported that someone used his personal information to file a tax return. The IRS will investigate and requested that the resident file a police report.

Damage: A man from Sharon Lane reported damage to his property caused by a low wire on 11/14. A truck hit a Verizon wire which caused a telephone pole to snap at its base. The pole is owned by the resident. Con Ed repaired lines that fell as a result but advised the man to speak to Verizon and an attorney about repairing the pole.


Angry! Con Edison called police on the afternoon of 11/16 to say that a man on Crossway appeared to be suicidal. When police arrived the man was in the city and told police on the phone that he was "upset and angry with Con Edison" and was not planning to hurt himself.
