Bainbridge Police Blotter | June 4

Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents:

May 24

9:15 a.m. A man’s laptop was stolen from his rental car.

The man parked the car on Bjune Drive to go for a walk the previous day. He then moved the vehicle near the Harbour Public House where he ate lunch.

While the car was parked at one of the two locations, he said, his MacBook computer went missing from the backpack in the trunk of the car. He thought he locked the trunk, and he didn’t understand how someone could have broken in without anyone seeing anything.

May 25

9:34 a.m. A residence was broken into, but police and the homeowners could not determine if anything was stolen.

The residents left the home several times the previous day. When they returned home around 6 p.m., they noticed the back door was broken.

At the time, they didn’t think about a potential break-in, and one of the residents fixed the broken door jam.

Later that night, they realized someone must have forced his or her way through the door. Though the residents had been in and out of the house all day, they never used the back door, and there was no plausible explanation for why the damage occurred.

Neighbors said they hadn’t heard or seen anything suspicious. The residents told police that nothing appeared to be missing, but they couldn’t say for sure.

Police asked them to call back if anything turned up missing.

Police noted that a number of burglaries occurred on the north end of the county in the last week.

Police have no leads.

May 27

12:48 p.m. A school bus driver for the Bainbridge Island School District told police a car passed his bus while it was parked and the stop sign deployed.

The driver said a white station wagon passed the bus on Grow Avenue and Shepard Way while the sign was out.

The driver wrote down the vehicle’s license plate, but he wasn’t sure if it was all correct.

Police checked the plates and they came back registered to a different vehicle.

Police have taken no further action on the case.
