This Bud’s for nobody | Police blotter

A security guard at Skyline High School discovered a blue cooler with vegetation growing over it in the wooded area east of the school on April 6.

The following information was compiled from Sammamish police reports:

A security guard at Skyline High School discovered a blue cooler with vegetation growing over it in the wooded area east of the school on April 6.

There were 11 cans of Bud Light in the cooler — 10 of them were unopened. The security guard reported the cooler was dirty, filled with mud and had probably been there for quite some time — possibly years.

VANDALS STRIKE

Police discovered a plexiglass cover to the Margaret Mead Elementary sign broken into several pieces the morning of April 5 along with two large rocks at the base of the sign.

A teacher later reported that she immediately removed two profane four-letter words from the sign when she arrived at school in the morning.

UP TO NO GOOD

Two Sammamish teenagers were discovered by police April 5 suspiciously parked in an apartment complex lot. When asked what they were doing, the teens told the officer they were there to watch the moon.

The officer found this strange as the vehicle was parked next to a 15-foot retaining wall and the moon was to the rear of the vehicle. The windows to the vehicle were also fogged over.

The teens denied using drugs or alcohol, but the officer detected the odor of alcohol. Only one of the teens returned a positive result of 0.01. They were provided with trespassing warnings and asked not to return to the complex, located in the 2000 block of 235th Place Northeast, for at least a year.

FRAUD

A former Sammamish and current California resident stopped by Sammamish City Hall on April 3 to report someone in Washington had purchased a 1977 Ford Pinto in her name.

The woman said she left Sammamish because her then boyfriend was stealing from her.

MISSING LAPTOP

A Sammamish citizen called police April 7 to report a missing laptop. The resident of the home in the 2300 block of 251st Street Southeast reported that she left town Feb. 20 through Feb. 25. Just prior to leaving she noticed her laptop was in plain view and hid it under the living room couch cushion.

She thought she had just misplaced the computer the last month, but realized it was gone when she was recently unable to find the cord, which was plugged into the wall.

CARS RANSACKED

A woman called police April 6 after the two vehicles in the driveway of her home in the 1000 block of 169th Avenue Southeast were ransacked.

The woman said it was her own fault for leaving the vehicles unlocked. The thieves allegedly took two iPods, a garage door opener, mail box keys and $50.

JEWELRY STOLEN

A Sammamish resident called police April 4 after she found nearly $9,000 in jewelry missing from her home. The woman reported that someone stole the items, which included her $7,000 wedding ring, sometime between March 26 and April 2.

The woman was suspicious of contractors working at her home in the 3300 block of 263 Avenue Southeast as there were no signs of forced entry.
