Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents:

Aug. 4

1:18 p.m. A resident reported that her house had been broken into and a laptop and flat screen TV stolen.

The woman told police she left her home around 11:30 a.m. that day and returned at 1 p.m. to find the TV and laptop missing.

She thought the suspect entered through a side door that she keeps unlocked, but officers noticed an open sliding glass door when checking the house.

The woman showed police the location of the stolen items, which were visible through a window. The suspect had to unplug the electronics to remove them.

The woman noticed the front door of the home was unlocked, and she always locks it when she leaves.

There was a similar electronic setup in another room, but those items remained intact. She also left some cash near the stolen items, which wasn’t taken.

Police dusted the home for prints and lifted several that could be usable. The woman planned to supply police with serial numbers of the items, and police entered the fingerprint samples into evidence for analysis.

1:29 p.m. A woman received word from her bank that someone made multiple fraudulent transactions with her debit card.

A representative from her bank’s fraud monitoring department alerted her that someone attempted to make two $200 charges on her card at a Walmart in Algonquin, Ill. The woman told the bank she didn’t make, or authorize the two purchases.

After the call, the woman looked at her bank account and noticed the two transactions.

She said she hadn’t lost her card or let anyone else use it at any time. She made recent purchases at the ferry terminal and online through QVC.

Police could not determine who obtained the woman’s card number and how that individual did so.

2:30 p.m. A man contacted police when an ex-girlfriend entered his home without permission.

The man heard from his son that a woman came into the house without knocking. When the son asked her what she was doing there, she said something about looking for some papers and then left quickly.

The man told police he and the woman broke up two months ago. They don’t live together, and she doesn’t have permission to be in the home. He had a protection order against her, but it recently expired. He said he plans to renew the order.

Nothing was taken from the residence.

8:29 p.m. A man called police after a visit between his chlidren and estranged wife went awry.

He said the woman broke the parenting plan the two of them made for their three children by allowing a strange man to be around them and being intoxicated in their presence.

He dropped the kids off near the mother’s home (the parents had a no-contact order against each other), and they walked the rest of the way, only to find that the mother was not home. She called and told the children she would be home shortly, but didn’t arrive for more than three hours. She told them to order a pizza, but since she was gone, the children had to take money out of a piggy bank to pay for it.

Before the mother returned home, a man who the children never met showed up. One of the conditions of the parental arrangement was that no strange men were allowed around the children.

When the mother eventually arrived home, the youngest child was crying and she quickly became angry with him. The children smelled alcohol on her and later told their father she was drunk. She became impatient with the children soon after coming home and called the father to come pick them up. He did, and then went to police to file a report.

Aug. 5

7:41 a.m. An unknown suspect spray painted the grounds of a basketball court at Blakely Elementary School.

A man noticed when he returned from the weekend that the court was defaced. The paint on the court spelled out several distinct phrases, painted different colors. Another area near the court was sprayed, but not finished.

The man said the grounds hadn’t been inspected or maintained since the weekend because the crew had to deal with other issues at different schools during that period.

The man estimated the damage to the court at approximately $100.
