Family feud

The Brooklyn Paper

A man’s 15th Street apartment was sacked on Jan. 30 and he blames his estranged daughter and her boyfriend for the crime.

Someone, possibly the daughter and her mate, used a key to enter the apartment between noon and 3 pm and steal a bonanza of gadgets.

When the father returned to the apartment, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues, he discovered that his camera equipment, an iPod, a jukebox and hundreds of CDs were stolen.

Police said they are looking for the daughter and her boyfriend.

Upside down

A burglar ransacked a man’s Seventh Avenue apartment on Feb. 1 and left it in such disarray that the victim couldn’t identify what was stolen.

The thief pried his way into the cellar of the building, which is between 11th and 12th streets, sometime after 10 pm.

The burglar looted the cellar and the upstairs apartment, taking unknown property from the 86-year-old victim’s home.

Suitcase cash

A thief pinched $1,600 from a suitcase in an apartment on Union Street on Feb. 2

The victim, a 49-year-old man, said somebody came through his back door between noon and 4:30 pm and stole the cash he kept in his suitcase.

The man couldn’t remember if his door was locked, but there were no signs of a break-in at the apartment, which is between Third and Fourth avenues.

Out the front

A man broke into a St. Marks Place apartment through the rear window and stole a laptop computer on Jan. 28.

The 24-year-old victim said his living room window was broken between 9:45 am and 6 pm. The hoodlum stole his computer and escaped through the front door of the building, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues.

Game on!

A man entered a popular chain sporting goods store on Fifth Avenue and walked out with 20 football jerseys just after 10:30 am on Jan. 25.

Cops say the man equipped almost a whole team by entering the store, which is near 14th Street, walking to the back of the store, grabbing the jerseys, and running out.

Police report the apparel is worth $2,000.

Stolen!

A hooligan broke into a Fifth Avenue apartment on Jan. 31 and stole a computer.

The thief damaged the front door to get into the first-floor residence sometime between 8:15 am and 9:15 pm.

Once inside the apartment, which is between 11th and 12th streets, he stole the laptop and $25.
