del.icio.usA young woman fast asleep in her ground-floor room in one of the McKibben Street Lofts, awoke to find that two thugs had snagged some of her valuable loot.
A friend and witness said she saw two men enter her room at 6 am on June 8, but the victim, a sleepy 25-year-old, thought the noise was only her roommate.
The thugs, who slipped through her unlocked front door, got away with her laptop, mouse and Metrocard.
Eye sore
A 23-year-old man was attacked on the corner of Lorimer Street and Stagg Street at midnight on June 9.
The victim, who claims he knew the thug, said the man followed him along the street, yelled racial slurs, then clobbered him on the head with a blunt object five times.
The young man suffered injuries to his right eye and his head. He told cops he could identify his assailant, but not until his eye heals properly and his full vision returns.
Early bird
A woman coming out of a Humboldt Street store early on June 10 was robbed by a man, who grabbed her purse.
The man attacked the victim, a 47-year-old, from behind at around 6 am. He got $48, food stamps, her checkbook and passport.
Diner beware
While eating at a restaurant on Grand Street on June 9, a woman had her wallet removed from her bag by a bald crook.
The 30-year-old woman was enjoying her late dinner at 11 pm, when her black wallet, containing four credit cards and $100, disappeared faster than she could say, “Check please.”
Out of town
A tourist from Seattle had a drink, then lost her bag at a popular bar on Lorimer Street on June 8.
The victim told cops that she left her bag on a bar stool and turned around to discover it was gone. The out-of-towner lost her Blackberry, school ID, and learner’s permit, as well as both Euros and dollars.
