Crimes and suspicious incidents recently reported to the Southampton Town Police Department in Southampton Town, east of the Shinnecock Canal.

• A Water Mill woman reported that sometime over the past six months, someone entered her Montauk Highway house and stole several items, including a bunch of tools. Three Snap-on tool boxes, valued at $700 to $1,200 each, as well as a couple of chain saws, a weed wacker, and two books and two paintings were among the items stolen. She said the burglary occurred sometime between Dec. 30 and last Wednesday.

• A man looking for a drinking buddy went a little too far to find some company after his friend decided to stay in, so says a Sagaponack man.

According to Southampton Town police, a Sagg Main Street resident said his friend, an East Hampton man, asked him to come have a drink with him Thursday night. After telling him he was too tired, the East Hampton man reportedly said he didn’t care, and to come over anyways.

A police report states that the East Hampton man showed up at his friend’s home around 9:45 p.m., became irate after being told to leave, and proceeded to dump out a bunch of flower pots on the man’s front porch. The man allegedly started putting the flower pots in his car, and after the Sagaponack man said he was going to call the cops, the unwanted guest threw two large rocks at a window on the house.

• A Bridgehampton resident reported that around 11 p.m. on Thursday someone stole nearly $6,500 in lawn furniture from her Lopers Path house.

• On Friday, an employee of Southampton Laundry on County Road 39 reported that three men entered the store around 7:30 p.m. and stole several items from the back room of the store. According to police, the men stole a Mexican passport, $150 in cash, a wallet, purse, debit card and a Mexican consulate card.

• Last Wednesday, a Sag Harbor woman reported that an Atlanta, Ga. company — Bill Me Later, a PayPal service — had charged her credit card for nearly $1,350 for United Airlines tickets that she never ordered.
