Each week, the Brooklyn Paper's Police Blotter recounts the latest police reports in respective Brooklyn neighborhoods. Yesterday's Park Slope blotter was peppered with the kind of theft that could have easily been avoided if PEOPLE DIDN'T LEAVE THEIR SHIT LYING AROUND
THEFT #1:
A quick-moving thief snatched a fancy wallet from a bar-goer on Union Street on Nov. 19.
The 30-year-old victim told cops that she hung her purse on the back of a chair at Union Hall near Fifth Avenue at 2:30 am, had a drink and returned an hour later. That’s when she discovered that her $600 wallet — along with several credit cards inside — gone.
THEFT #2:
A thief stole a laptop from a woman on Union Street on Nov. 21.
The 22-year-old victim told cops that she left her MacBook and headphones outside a building near Fifth Avenue for 15 minutes, which was enough time for the crook to snatch the gadget and run away.
[Sigh.]
