On Oct. 4 at 3:18 p.m., an elderly New Canaan couple reported to police they arrived home at their Knapp Lane residence and discovered someone had forced entry to their home through the rear door. The couple left the house at 1:15 p.m. that day.

Upon inspection, the couple reported "obvious signs things were rummaged through," police said. 

Items stolen include a watch valued at $2,500, two gold necklaces valued at $500 each, a gold chain bracelet valued at $1,000 and approximately $40 worth of quarters.

On Oct. 4 at 3:33 p.m., a 52-year-old woman who lives in an apartment on Millport Avenue reported to police several items had recently been stolen from her home.

The woman said she had a friend stay with her on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29, but was not necessarily accusing that friend of stealing her things. The woman also had a party during that time.

The woman reported missing items included 12 peices of miscellaneous jewelry (approximately $600) and prescription drugs valued at $440.

The case remains under investigation.

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.
