Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department.

SATURDAY, NOV. 7

12:45 p.m. A 48-year-old Bainbridge woman in a 2003 Volkswagen Passat was following an 80-year-old Bainbridge man in a 2001 Ford F150 pickup heading east on Wing Point Way.

She said the other driver looked like he was lost because he was traveling slowly.

The truck stopped in the road near Robinwood Drive, then started to back up. The woman honked her horn but the other driver did not stop in time.

No one was injured and the drivers exchanged information.

Police called the other driver and told him he would be getting a ticket for inattentive driving. The man became upset and quickly ended the phone conversation.

FRIDAY, NOV. 6

9:24 a.m. A 50-year-old Bainbridge man reported a theft in the 4700 block of Lynwood Center. A box with a small car and a Star Wars toy for his son had been ordered through Amazon and delivered to the lobby of his apartment building and left near his mailbox. The package was gone when he went to retrieve it.

He said the building has a secured entryway, but the back door is often found left ajar for the ease of people who come and go to smoke.
