Church louse
Print this story
digg
del.icio.usA burglar broke into a church on Court Street near Luquer Street and left without closing the fridge behind him.
The thief broke in through a rear door and stole a cable box, $737 from an unlocked safe, and miscellaneous food from a refrigerator, police said. The door to fridge stayed open until the crime was discovered by a member of the church.
Geeked out
A Red Hook man was robbed of thousands of dollars in photo and computer equipment in broad daylight on Sept. 12, police said.
The tech-savvy bandit broke into a locked car parked on King Street between Richard and Verona streets at around 10 am and got away with a $800 Nikon camera, a $700 satellite-guided navigation system, 20 computer memory cards and a camera worth $5,000.
Bad medicine
A doctor’s Long Island College Hospital office was burglarized on Sept. 11, police said.
The 48-year-old doc left her office at 4:15 pm. When she returned four hours later, her $1,800 laptop had disappeared along with two memory sticks. There was no sign of forced entry, an officer said.
Unwelcome
A woman sashayed into an unlocked Red Hook house at 3:20 pm on Sept. 7 and held up the man lounging inside, police said.
The robber walked into the house on Sullivan Street between Van Brunt and Conover streets without a weapon.
“Give me your money,” she said to the man inside. She got away with a black iPod worth $600 — but no cash.
The victim said that the woman who held him up was average height, black and short-haired.
