SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — On the morning of May 28 and again on Friday morning, police were sent to Glover Street after a caller complained that there was a car that apparently had been abandoned there. Police checked the car’s registration on May 28 and found that it was active. A traffic control officer chalk-marked a tire to ensure that the car was in fact being used. On Friday, the same caller made the same complaint. A TCO again chalked the tires to make sure that the car was not being parked in the same spot for longer than seven days, which would be in violation of village code.

There was ductwork and a lot of other obstacles in the way, the officer reported.

The officer suggested to the homeowner that they contact an exterminating company.

But he did agree in the end to leave the area, promising not to violate village code regarding overnight camping, and no further action was taken.
