An empty vessel makes the most noise

10 p.m., Rosewood Street and Walnut Avenue, Bunnell.

Noise complaint. A Palm Coast man called in a noise complaint, requesting the officer bring a certified decibel reader. The responding officer did but, much to the resident’s upset, found the noise level to be within the allowed range when he got there.

According to the incident report, the resident said he “was unhappy with [the] response to his call for service” and that every deputy should have a certified decibel meter – for all these high-priority noise complaints at 10 p.m. The resident said they would be calling the commander during business hours.  

Poor planning

4:45 a.m., 200 block of Palm Coast Parkway, Palm Coast.

Larceny. A police officer responding to a suspicious incident arrived at a Chase Bank where the front panel of the ATM had been pried open, while the safe was damaged but not breached. According to the report, the damage done was from “some sort of long pry bar;” the would-be thieves managed get nothing for their troubles but property damage.

The officer later saw in the security footage two men entering and exiting the property, damaging their vehicle and the landscaping along the way. The vehicle turned out to be stolen and was later recovered, the thieves still at large.

Rub-a-dub-dub, someone's got my tub

12:30 p.m., 100 block West Grill Dr., Palm Coast.

Residential burglary. If your tub goes missing from the garage, who do you call? Amazon, apparently, to see if they actually did pick up the $629 returned tub. The tub went missing out of an incomplete home construction’s garage in the span of approximately an hour from when the workers went home and the construction manager returned.

According to the report, the tub was supposed to be picked up for return the previous day, and the confusion of calling Amazon to check if it had been – it hadn’t – delayed the theft report. A canvas of the neighbors’ door cameras revealed no helpful information. So far: a clean getaway.
