Police: Tarrytown Tag Sale Goes Horribly Wrong

The unsavory story of a tag sale gone really wrong surfaced in Facebook, where a woman planning on having another sale day told her friends she had to call it off when she realized just how much she had lost.

A Wildey Street resident moving out of town planned to have what was meant to be a tag sale where items get sold for money, not a free-for-all for thieves.

Police have no suspect on who may have stolen numerous valuables, amounting to a grand larceny case with their value, from the open home that anywhere from 65 to 100 people might have entered in the course of the day on August 3.

Police got a call from the woman on August 4 at 9:38 a.m. that in the course of the first few hours of the tag sale she had the day before between the hours of 6:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. she had discovered several items missing:

• An IBM laptop ($700)
• and a Virgin cell phone.

• A string of pearls with matching bracelet,
• a white gold ring with small diamond,
• a gold ring with two gold balls

• Cash ($550 to $700),
• Nikon cameras with two lenses,
• a pair Olympus binoculars,
• crocodile purse,
• Tiffany necklace (string of pearls),
• Tiffany cake plate with cake cutter,
• gold pocket watch,
• gold ladies wristwatch,
• two wide yellow gold wedding bands,
• platinum engagement ring with sapphire stone and two white diamonds on each side,
• white gold earrings with small diamond studs,
• and two yellow gold rings with mother of pearls.
