DARIEN, Conn. Somebody trying to break into a house on Post Road near the Stamford border frightened a babysitter the night of July 1. The babysitter was watching television when she heard somebody trying to get in through the front door, which was locked. The babysitter ran to the back door and locked it.
A couple moments later, she heard the same person trying to get in through the back door. She looked out the window and saw someone run down the driveway and get into the passenger seat of a waiting SUV, which then sped off. She called the homeowners and then the police.
Also from the police blotter:
An iPhone was snatched off a table at a business on Post Road on Sunday afternoon. The owner had gotten a frozen yogurt from Swizzles and was sitting at a table outside Uncle's Deli, which was closed at the time. When he finished his treat, he got up to throw out his trash. When he returned to the table, the phone was gone.
The manager of Duchess Restaurant on Post Road reported two thefts that occurred in May.

During those same hours May 25, somebody again went into the office and took $660. The manager said the door's lock is broken.
