Police Report: Nov. 2 to 6

Skullduggery of the Week: Clash of the Realtors

At 11:20 a.m. on Nov. 6, a house sitter in the 4500 block of Bordeaux Avenue reported the theft of two concrete planters, valued at $200 each, from a front porch by a man who drove away in a pickup. When an officer stopped the perpetrator, a Coldwell Banker realtor intervened and said she was entitled to the planters because they were decorative items placed there to show the house, which had since been sold. However, the new homeowners moved in three months ago, with the help of a different realtor, and were told the planters came with the house. The homeowners said they’ve never spoken to the seller’s realtor, and suspect she waited until they were gone to steal the planters without their knowledge. The Coldwell Banker agent refused to return them under threat of arrest.
