$540,000 Worth Of Medical Equipment Stolen

A worker transported some trays of equipment from Phelps to a Hartsdale doctor's office, where the screws and other expensive items went missing.

Reverse pedicle screws, adjustable t-connectors, and dual outer diameter polyaxial screws with quick release ratchets and holding sleeve assembly...

Those were some of the very specific items listed by a worker as stolen from her vehicle after transporting them from the Phelps Hospital operating room on July 5 to a Hartsdale doctor's office.

On July 19, the worker reported to Sleepy Hollow Police that at noon on July 5, she had received two trays from Phelps Hospital operating room containing various medical supplies. Around 3 p.m., she parked the vehicle and noticed the items were missing from her trunk with the trunk door open at a doctor's office in Hartsdale.

The woman reported to police that there were no signs of forced entry to her car and she checked the area and had not been able to locate the items.

The inventory list was valued at $540,000. The case has been handed over to the detective division for further investigation.

If this is happening in a community like Scarsdale, then as a taxpayer I am irritated. Where are allRead More the taxes going if teachers are paying for their own classroom supplies? There has to be some degree of accountability regarding our tax dollars. We are the highest-taxed county in the nation and we can't afford notebooks and post-it notes? As a community member, I am not going to "lend a hand." I already do that with my tax dollars.
