Phone Theft Spans Village Police Departments

A student reported his phone stolen at Sleepy Hollow's Middle School but couldn't locate it when the GPS pointed to Tarrytown.

An iPhone that was allegedly stolen in Sleepy Hollow made its way to Tarrytown, but both police and the owner couldn't track it down further.

On Dec. 6 at 5:07 p.m., a Tarrytown officer reported being flagged down by someone who reported his son’s cell phone had been stolen earlier that day from his locker at Sleepy Hollow Middle School. The phone’s GPS indicated it was now in the area of Main Street and Windle Park. The officer was unable to pinpoint the exact location of the phone and the incident was noted for the record.

The next day, at 10:17 a.m., the boy's mother came into Sleepy Hollow headquarters to file a report on the theft, since the school grounds fall in Sleepy Hollow's district.

The phone remains at large, joining the ranks of many high-tech Apple devices that have been reportedly stolen from local schools.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
