Another luxury car was stolen in the Southampton Town Police jurisdiction. A 2021 Land Rover Range Rover was taken from outside a Swans Neck Lane residence in Water Mill on October 1.

Town Police joined with Suffolk County Crime Stoppers to ask for the public’s help in locating the vehicle and the person or persons who stole it. The vehicle was last seen at 8:30 p.m. and has New York license plate HXZ 1571.

Car thefts have persisted as motorists continue to leave key fobs in unlocked vehicles. Last week, police in Quogue Village reported the thefts of two pricey rides, both stolen from Dune Road driveways, taken around the same time and left accessible with the keys inside them.

On September 29, the first victim reported that a 2021 BMW X7, valued at $90,000, was taken during the overnight hours between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. It was recovered the next day in Fairfax, Virginia. The second victim reported a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, worth $110,000, stolen between 12:25 and 12:35 a.m.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest. Submit an anonymous tip to the agency by calling 1-800-220-TIPS, texting SCPD and a message to CRIMES or visiting p3tips.com. All calls and texts are kept confidential, police said.

Grave Disservice

We are very fortunate in Southampton Village to have many private organizations that support our community. It is unfortunate, then, that the village sometimes lags behind them, failing both the organizations and residents when it comes to partnering with them. I learned recently that in June 2024, our mayor signed a largely unknown agreement allowing one of these outside group to manage bioswales and buffers on village-owned property. While most such agreements would affirmatively require the outside party to submit all plans to the village for review — a simple step that protects the public and is practically boilerplate in ... by Staff Writer

Emphasis Needed

This week’s Southampton Press comments were spot on, publishing two letters concerning our environment. One of the opinions addressed the sacrifices to our well-being that are made when overuse of water and chemicals to maintain a beautiful lawn overshadows the dangers involved. In addition, the tremendous overuse of plastics in packaging and wrapping is going to continue to take ever-increasing tolls on the environment and, more significantly, our health. My main concern is that the younger generation, from grammar school children forward, are not made aware, through more vigorous emphasis throughout their education, of the dangers to our environment.

Protect Horseshoe Crabs

Group for the East End lends its voice to the inhabitants of our natural environment that cannot speak for themselves. Take the American horseshoe crab. These arthropods have survived five mass extinctions on planet Earth in their 450-million-year existence. That’s an extraordinary feat. They are known as a keystone species, meaning other animals, such as migratory birds, depend on them for their own survival. Horseshoe crabs also have contributed to lifesaving medical advancements and improved human health. Now, it is our turn to help them. Comprehensive studies released this past summer reaffirm a drastic population decline over the last 25 ... by Staff Writer
