5:49 p.m. A citizen reported a possible burglary. The man told an officer he locked the front door when he left that morning and found it unlocked when he returned. He said nothing was missing, but he believes someone had been inside the house. He had no explanation of how a suspect could have entered, as there were no marks on the door frame and all the windows were locked. The officer discovered that the man’s deadbolt lock was missing, but the man said it had been that way for some time. The officer recommended that the man buy a new deadbolt, and the man responded by leaving for the hardware store immediately. All leads have been exhausted.

6:44 p.m. A resident reported that someone had stolen his bicycle from a parking area near his apartment. The resident said sometime between 6 p.m. on Oct. 22 and 7 a.m. on Oct. 23 his red mountain bike went missing. He said it wasn’t locked up and is worth approximately $50. Police have no suspects.

3:47 p.m. A man reported his car stolen. He said he left the keys inside the car while it was parked in his carport. He said he has let several friends use the car before, so it’s possible that someone borrowed it from him. But he said he called everyone he could think of and none of them had it. Initially, he thought he may have parked the car somewhere and forgotten about it, but later decided that wasn’t the case. The car, a light blue, four-door Toyota Corolla, was entered as stolen.

12:20 p.m. A man riding a motorcycle said he was nearly hit by a speeding Kitsap Transit bus earlier that morning.

The man said he stopped at an intersection around 5 a.m. to adjust his rain gear. He noticed a “speeding” Kitsap Transit bus coming toward him and he laid down the motorcycle and dove into the ditch to avoid getting hit. The man said he injured his hand in the incident and wanted the driver charged with hit and run. The officer told him that wasn’t possible because there was no collision. The officer said it sounded like he had failed to yield the right-of-way to the bus.

The man was upset, saying if he had done this police would have arrested him. A bus driver can get away with anything, he said, and it appeared that he would have to get hit and be killed before police would arrest the bus driver.

The officer talked to the bus driver, who said the rider approached the intersection too quickly and skidded to a stop when the bus approached. The bus driver confirmed there was no impact.
