Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter:

Thursday, June 26

9:45 a.m. Police received a report that someone has been trying to register a boat that was stolen 14 to 15 years ago from a Bainbridge resident.

The resident reported an aluminum-sided rowboat stolen sometime between 1998 and 2000. Now someone in Oregon was attempting to register the rowboat but the title is still under the name of the Bainbridge resident.

Oregon’s Department of Licensing advised the resident he would need to provide a police report to prove the item had been stolen.

Bainbridge police, however, are not required to keep reports past seven years. The report is no longer in the system.
