The homeowners returned from dinner later than evening and found that three valuable watches – including a Raymond Weil and a Skagen were missing as well as $10.

When she got into the car the following morning she found the glove compartment and center console open. Missing were here iPod, quarters, and CD’s. The suspect also entered the car’s trunk and stole a pair of shoes. She believed that the car was not locked and there was no damage to the car.

Accident: An Eastwoods Lane woman called police on the morning of October 20, when her Infiniti, which was parked in front of her house, was hit by a white commercial truck when the driver was backing it up. Police did a search of the driver’s license and found that the man’s license was cancelled, the vehicle registration was suspended and he had no insurance. The driver, who was identified as Jose Navincolqui of White Plains was issued a summons and the owner of the van was called to tow the unlicensed truck away.

Public Urination: A Tompkins Road woman called police to report that a man was urinating at the dead end next to her house. Police spoke with the offender who said he had to go very badly and was not aware that he could use the facilities at the Police Station down the street. He was very apologetic and said he would not do it again.

Identity Theft: On October 16 a Rectory Lane man reported that his quarterly tax return had been sent back from the IRS as another return had been filed using the man’s social security number.

Feud: Neighbors at Overhill and Lockwood Road continued to feud on the night of October 17. Police received a call form Ike Okoli who complained that William Marineberg was yelling at him. However when police spoke to Marienberg he denied yelling or having any communication whatsoever with Okoli. This is not the first time there has been a complaint and police have found that Okoli’s accusations are baseless. Police asked Marienberg to call them again if the need arises.

Flying Objects: A Scarsdale woman driving south on the Bronx River Parkway near Crane Road said she was struck in the head with an unknown object around 5 pm on 10/18.
