No day at the beach for lady

del.icio.usA woman’s day at the floating pool was ruined when her locker was broken into.
The 63-year-old was swimming from during the 4–7:30 pm session at the barge, which is on Furman Street, near Joralemon Street, on Aug. 26. When she finished her laps, she noticed her locker was slightly ajar, and her purse and cellphone was missing.
Thief caught
A man who tried to steal a $400 Coach bag at a popular DUMBO bar was apprehended on the night of Aug. 25, police said.
A 25-year-old woman was hanging out at the bar on the corner of Bridge and York streets when her high-end purse was grabbed off her chair. She got a good look at him, and the cops found him on the street moments later — the purse still on him.
Toy story
A 61-year-old man was robbed by a pair of perps who used what turned out to be a fake gun in DUMBO on Aug. 23.
The victim was walking on Dock Street near Front Street at around 8 pm when a young man and a 12-year-old kid approached him, pulled out what looked like a gun and said, “Give me all your money.”
The man complied, but the kids were caught soon afterwards by the cops. The gun turned out to be a fake.
Cop robbed
Everyone gets mugged sooner or later, even the police.
An off-duty cop was sitting in her car at the corner of Livingston Street and Hanover Place at around 3:45 pm on Aug. 20 when a man asked for directions.
The cop provided the assistance, but the man came back later and snatched her wallet, which had no money, but, ironically, her NYPD identification.
