Scrooge came early for one Boston resident but TPD saved the day.

 On November 22, 2021 at approximately 11:20AM Transit Police officers assigned to the Central District received a radio call to respond to the MBTA's South Station Track 1 area for an unknown male attempting to steal tools and other items from a construction area. Upon arrival officers located the male subject who was in possession of a shopping cart which contained a large unopened box packaged for shipping.  The shipping label had a city of Boston address as a destination and a name. The male, later identified as Timothy Babyok, 41, of Easthampton, MA., initially furnished a false name and other biographical information. The name Babyok furnished did not match with the shipping label and officers inquired how he came into possession of the package. Babyok provided more non sensical responses. The packaged was clearly label as a Yamaha Piano.

Subsequent to an investigation officers tracked down the rightful owner who informed the officers he ordered a 1,700.00$ piano that never arrived despite the tracking number indicating it had been delivered. Officers delivered the piano to the most grateful owner and all was well. Not so for Babyok he was placed into custody for Receiving Stolen Property Over 1,200.00$ and transported to TPD HQ for the arrest booking process.
