Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SUNDAY, SEPT. 1

8:42 a.m. Police were called to Fletcher Bay Road where money had been stolen from a donation box.

The donation box, run on the honor system, was permanently affixed to a market stand on the side of the road. It was, the owner said, a new box, purchased just two weeks ago, which was bolted to the stand. In the past, people have stolen money from the stand but they thought the new box would be more secure.

The money is collected by selling flowers and is used to buy instruments for handicapped and underprivileged children.

The owner said he’d removed the cash the night before and made sure the flowers were stocked.

In the morning, he found the box had been opened and many flowers were missing.

The weld at the top of the box was broken. About $30 was likely in the box, the owner said, judging by the number of missing flowers.

There are no suspects.

A report was filed.
