Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft

Whitefish Bay police believe people may be snooping through trash cans and dumpsters looking for sensitive financial information.

A report of an unknown woman going through recycle bins in the 5500 block of Berkeley Boulevard earlier this month is a reminder that – even when you throw something in the trash – it can still be seen. Whitefish Bay Police Chief Michael Young is urging residents to be careful about what they throw in the trash. If sensitive financial information falls into the wrong hands, they could fall victim to identity theft. "Anything with personal identifiers – names, dates of birth, social security numbers - should be shredded," Young said. "Your most precious possession is your identity, and you don't want that taken. It's just a mess trying to clean that up." Whitefish Bay police have received an identity theft report as recently as April 19. In…

Neighbor Hurls Insults With Hand-Written Signs

The woman taped signs to the side of her home that insulted her neighbor, his girlfriend and his 12-year-old daughter.

An ongoing feud between two neighbors turned ugly last week, when a woman took photos outside her neighbor's bedroom window at night and posted hand-written signs insulting the man, his girlfriend and his 12-year-old daughter. According to a Whitefish Bay police report, the altercation occurred shortly after the man called the police on April 13 to report his neighbor's dog was barking loudly. When the police left, the woman's husband confronted the neighbor about why he called the police, and he said it was because the woman has responded negatively to other concerns he has raised in the past. One of the man's concerns was that the woman's two sons often play on the roof of her garage. The woman, who lives on Henry Clay Street, overheard …

Driver Caught With Open Beer Bottle in His Lap

Police say the impaired driver drove through the bend at Lake Drive and came to a stop in the middle of the road Sunday night.

A car parked across the northbound lane of Lake Drive Sunday night caught the attention of all available Whitefish Bay squads – and so did the open bottle of Colt 45 malt liquor between his legs. A witness told police the car was driving slow and struck a pedestrian sign in the 500 block of Silver Spring Drive. After stopping at a stoplight at the intersection of Lake Drive and Silver Spring, the vehicle started driving even slower, leading the witness to believe the driver had passed out behind the wheel. Instead of curving around the bend in the 900 block of Lake Drive, the vehicle continued straight through the northbound lane, where it came to a stop.  When squads responded at 8:16 p.m. Sunday, the driver smelled of alcohol and had an …
