Police are asking for the public’s help in finding the thief or thieves who stole $10,000 worth of motorcycles from an East Quogue garage last year.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and the Southampton Town Police sent out the request for help on Tuesday, March 14.

The bikes — a 2018 Honda CRF450R with a VIN of JH2PE073JK101345 and a 2001 Honda XR400 with a VIN of JHZNE03071K601275 — are both red and white. They were taken from a garage on Sandpiper Lane on September 22. Police said the perpetrators traveled to the scene in a white sedan. Photos of the car were captured by a security camera.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone with information about the incidents can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-800-220-TIPS, using a mobile app downloadable from the App Store or Google Play by searching P3 Tips, or online at P3Tips.com. All calls, text messages and emails are kept confidential.

Normalized Chaos

Donald Trump did not emerge in a vacuum. He is the product of a long line of teachers, each shaping his instincts, sharpening his worst impulses, and reinforcing a worldview where power matters more than truth, and notoriety is worth more than integrity. His father taught him the basics: that people are assets or liabilities, and that whole communities — particularly Black families — were to be avoided because they were “bad for business.” That worldview didn’t make Trump a racist in the classic sense; it made him a calculator, someone who learned early that prejudice could be profitable. He ... 3 Dec 2025 by Staff Writer

Show of Commitment

Deputy Mayor Len Zinnanti welcomed a packed house at the Southampton Cultural Center on Saturday, November 22. The event’s mission was clear: to educate the public about the undeniable threat posed by nitrogen leaching from residential septic systems. Dr. Christopher Gobler delivered the scientific facts, sharing extensive research on the health risks associated with rising nitrate levels in our water. My personal “aha” moment came when Dr. Gobler cited a study detailing how toxins from harmful algal blooms can even permeate the atmosphere. Tom Varney from the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology then presented the critical solution: ... by Staff Writer

Get Fit

Hampton Bays is a fitness paradise. There are many ways to make us fit, and maybe make us healthy and live longer. It takes a little exercise. Some exercise is low-impact, and some is grueling, hardcore, sweat-pouring exercise. Low-impact is walking. Two years ago, I started walking around my neighborhood, then I started a one-mile loop from the train station around downtown Hampton Bays. Now I walk over the Ponquogue Bridge five to eight times a week. It’s all low-impact but good for our health. To get more out of the bridge walk, many of us do 200 steps backward ... by Staff Writer

Worthy of Debate

The long knives came out in response to my recent letters condemning the violence toward ICE agents doing the hazardous work of finding illegals to screen for deportation. My sense is that the recent ballot success in New Jersey, Virgina and New York City has reawakened a Democrat voice that had been gagging on the Trump agenda and its broad implementation. Steve Crispinelli [“Useless Durak,” Letters, November 6] is perfectly free to defend the woke agenda, defend what he believes is free speech and how successful this first year of Donald Trump’s second term have been, but the name-calling adds ... by Staff Writer

I want to extend my deepest thanks to the voters of Southampton for placing your trust in me once again to serve as a Town Trustee. It is an honor I do not take lightly.

Gathering Facts

Bob Giuffra is undoubtedly one of the country’s most accomplished litigators. He is also the chair of the Lake Agawam Conservancy and in that capacity wrote an unfortunate and misleading letter last week [“Playing Politics,” Letters, November 27] accusing me of staging a “political ambush” for raising concerns over the village’s review and supposed “approval” of recent plantings along Gin Lane. He further claimed that I pressured the village attorney, an allegation that would be laughable if it were not so recklessly untrue. One would expect a greater regard for facts from an attorney of Mr. Giuffra’s stature before attaching ... by Staff Writer
