The caller reported she was supposed to tutor the daughter of a resident of Battle Flag Road at the Bedford Free Public Library, but she never showed up. The reporting person then drove by the residence on Battle Flag Road and observed all the lights were on and the front door and the garage door were wide open. The responding officer spoke with the homeowner who said she was in a rush, and left the door open when she had gone out earlier.
