A Darien man told police that an 18-karat gold bracelet valued at $2,000 has disappeared from his home on Lynn Court. The men’s gold-link chain bracelet was last seen in May 2016 before the 63-year-old man had an extended stay away from home. After he returned later in the year, he noticed it missing in the first week of December. The matter was reported to police on Dec. 13.
On a day when a Darien family was moving items out of the house and into the garage, the husband mentioned to his wife that he’d noticed his daughter’s bicycle leaning against one of the garage doors and that he had moved it. But as they talked, he realized that wasn’t his daughter’s bike at all. He went in the garage and discovered the girl’s bicycle wasn’t there — that was somebody else’s. The 11-year-old girl’s bike had been stolen from the house on Middlesex Road near Hoyt Street, and a different one had been left behind. Darien police gave this further account of the incident:
A garage door had been open before the theft, which occurred sometime between 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. this past Sunday, Dec.
When workers from a construction company were left to work on renovating a Wildcat Road house, one of the homeowners packed jewelry she valued at $27,000 into a plastic box and on June 16 hid it among other items in a closet. Then she and other family members left the house for days, and when they returned on Monday, June 20, after work on a kitchen floor was finished, the box was gone. At first, she told police, she thought she might have misplaced the box, but after three weeks of looking, she couldn’t find it anywhere. She reported the matter to police on Monday, July 11. There was no evidence of forced entry into the home.
