Renters hold 'garage sale;' landlord's furniture and appliances go missing
2:00 p.m. First block of Blaine Court. Larceny: A 42-year-old woman bought a house and let it out to a mother and daughter about five years ago. But last month, she told a deputy, the mother didn't pay the rent or utilities. Then the homeowner got a call from a neighbor saying that the mother and daughter had held a garage sale and moved out of the house. But it appeared they may have sold some items that weren't theirs: When the homeowner arrived, much of the furniture was missing, as were the washer and dryer and assorted yard tools, according to a Sheriff's Office report. The homeowner told the deputy she'd bought the items for the home and didn't give the pair permission to remove them, according to the deputy's report. The homeowner didn't know where the woman and daughter moved, and when she tried to call them, she discovered that they'd changed their phone numbers.

When she returned Dec. 20, the home's sliding glass door was open, there was dirt all over the carpet and her laptop and a computer monitor were gone, according to a Sheriff's Office report. In their place was a root beer bottle, left by the burglar. A door leading to the garage was also open, although the woman told a deputy that she'd closed it before she left, and locked all of the home's doors and windows.
Kayaks stolen in C-Section
5:53 p.m. First block of Colony Court. Theft: A 60-year-old man was went to the canal behind his house to do a little fishing after work. But he noticed, as he cast his line, that the two kayaks he kept on a wooden rack attached to the sea wall were both gone, along with their paddles. He called the Sheriff's Office. He told a deputy that he'd seen the kayaks — one of which was his, and one of which belonged to his stepson's friend — that morning, according to a Sheriff's Office report. The man's kayak was a 13-foot gray sit-on-top model worth about $500, and the other one was an 8-foot blue and white sit-inside model worth about $300, according to the Sheriff's Office report. A deputy noted that the wooden kayak rack was intact, but the rope that had been used to hold the kayaks in place was frayed and laying in the grass.
