The concept is simple, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Two Scarsdale High School alumni, Stephanie Adler ’04 and Ronee Rosenkranz ’04 used the recession as an impetus to launch an online consignment boutique called The Junk In Your Trunk.
Their website is not like any consignment store that you see online or in your local neighborhood. The Junk In Your Trunk specializes in the consignment of high-end accessories.
Adler and Rosenkranz encourage you to take a look in your closets to see if you have any bags,
wallets, sunglasses, watches, jewelry, or shoes that you no longer need. When the item is sold, you’ll receive 75% of the profits and gain extra space in your closet. The site also offers vintage and collectable items purchased at flea markets and estate sales.
The Junk In Your Trunk carries a wide variety of merchandise, ranging from name brands, to vintage collectables, all at a great price! If you are looking for a unique gift, or fun accessories, to make extra money or to get ride of closet clutter, The Junk In Your Trunk offers a user-friendly way to do it all.

Coyotes On the Loose in the Dale

Mark Carter of Catherine Road in Heathcote came upon a coyote as he was driving home at dusk with his family in the car on August 30th. He describes a very large dog-like animal, skinny, with a triangular, pointed face and dark fur. Unlike foxes, that always seem to be on the move, the coyote stood still, and stared at the Carters as they stared back.
His neighbor had spotted a coyote earlier in the day and it appears that the coyotes live in the woods near the Fenway Golf Course that borders the area. Carter would like to see them trapped and removed to a less-populated area. He points out that loose dogs are caught and brought to shelters and sees the coyotes as a threat to residents and their household pets. On Labor Day weekend he contemplated taking a snooze on his hammock in his yard, but nixed the idea due to the fear of a coyote wandering by.
Additional reports of coyotes were received from:
- Wynmor Road at 1:41 in the afternoon on 8/30
- Farragut Road at 2:32 pm on 8/30 same day at
- Catherine Road at 4:36 pm on 8/30 --Police went there to investigate, found the coyote and got it to move out of the yard and into the woods.
- Thies Court at 1:45 on August 31
- Richbell Road at 6 PM on September 4
- Black Birch Lane at 7:20 pm in the evening of September 5
- Fenway Golf Course on the second hole around 11 am on Labor Day
- At Wildwood and Corell Roads at 11:30 am on September 6
