Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 13

4:45 p.m. A 45-year-old Bainbridge Island woman called police to report a threatening phone call she’d received.

A man, claiming to be with a company called “Green Air,” told her he was going to be on time in arriving at her home for their appointment. She said she’d made no such appointment and asked to be taken off of the man’s call list. He told her he would not do that and then reminded her that he knew her address and proceeded to recite it to her.

Scared, the woman blocked the number and called the police after discovering several similar complaints online regarding the same number and situation.

MONDAY, SEPT. 12

10:38 a.m. A 25-year-old Bainbridge Island woman called police to report a stolen cell phone. The phone went missing, she said, while she had been on a tour bus traveling from the Seattle ferry terminal to Mount Rainier. She had gone to use the bathroom and left her phone on her seat. When she returned, it was gone.

Despite searching the bus and asking the other passengers, she was unable to recover it and said she was certain it was stolen.

The woman estimated the value of the phone at $1,000.
