The alarm at Ebey Bowl, Coupeville’s bowling alley on Terry Road, went off at 8:49 p.m. Monday, but no one heard it. That’s because the burglar had cut the phone lines before he jimmied the back door open with a crowbar, bowling alley owner Matt Iverson said. The thief stole candy, beer, liquor, a fan, $300 in cash and an employee’s laptop, Iverson said. The value of the items taken has yet to be determined, he said. Other than the cut phone lines, broken door and broken lock on the liquor cabinet, nothing else was damaged, he said. “The alarm went off, but it didn’t go anyplace,” Iverson said, explaining that the burglar waited to see if anyone responded before he entered the building. The man’s actions inside the bowling alley were caught on surveillance video. The video also shows the suspect driving up to the back door of the bowling alley in a pickup truck. “We don’t know who he is, but we can see his face for a couple of seconds,” Iverson said. The suspect wore a hooded sweatshirt that hid his face during most of his 10 minutes inside the alley. The hood fell back briefly, exposing his face to the camera. A snapshot pulled from the film was too small for publication

in Tuesday morning after a coffee group that gathers at the bowling alley saw the damaged door and contacted him. Iverson hired Whidbey Custom Homes to replace the bowling alley’s back door, including the door’s frame. Ebey Bowl is closed on Tuesdays, so the business won’t suffer any losses during repairs, Iverson said. Someone also attempted to break in to the Pizza Factory restaurant on South Main Street the same evening. The phone lines were cut, according to owner Becky Lawless. But because the alarm system is not connected to the phone system, the alarm sounded and a Coupeville deputy marshal responded. The only damage to the Pizza Factory was to the cut phone lines, Lawless said. Ebey Bowl and the Pizza Factory are the only two businesses that reported a break-in or attempted break-in Monday night, Wallace said. Anyone who has information about the burglary at Ebey Bowl should contact the Island County Emergency Services Communications Center dispatch at 360-6799567 or e-mail tips@co.island. wa.us. Anyone who has information about the attempted break-in at Pizza Factory should contact the Coupeville Marshal’s Office at 360-678-4461 Ext. 1. A
