Party foul

A thief swiped stuff from two apartments in the same McKibbin Street building during and after a big house party on Sept. 12.

In the other thief, the victim told cops that he was hosting the big, building-wide affair, which included three crashers.

No one saw the crashers take anything, but at around 4 am, the party-thrower noticed that a laptop, an iPod and various cards had been taken.

But the thief wasn’t done yet.

Sometime between 4:30 and 7 am, he struck another apartment in the building, which is between Bushwick Avenue and Siegel Court, taking a laptop, various cards, and an iPod from an apartment shared by two women and one man in something of a “Three’s Company” situation.

Baseball furies

Two thugs pummelled a teenager with a baseball bat on the corner of Hooper and S. Second streets on Sept. 12 — but didn’t end up stealing anything.

The teen told cops that he was standing on the corner at 9 pm when the two ne’er-do-wells approached. “Give me the Sidekick,” said one of the men, who then punched the victim.

Dazed, the victim was then bashed over the head with the bat by the other thug.

He was badly injured, but the thieves fled without getting the popular phone.

Lapstop

Burglars were running wild in the neighborhood last week. Here’s a round-up:

• A thief broke into a Roebling Street apartment and swiped a woman’s laptop. The tenant told cops that she was not in the apartment, which is between Metropolitan Avenue and Fillmore Place, from 1 pm on Sept. 11 and 1 pm the next day, when she discovered the stolen Mac.

• A Humboldt Street woman lost her laptop to a thug who broke into her unit, between Scholes and Meserole streets between 8:30 am and 9 pm.

Bicycle thief

A two-wheeling marauder swiped a woman’s purse early on Sept. 11 without even getting off his bike — but cops later caught up with their man.

Police say that the 15-year-old bike-riding thief grabbed the purse while its owner, a 28-year-old woman, was near the corner of Judge and Powers streets at around 12:30 am.

The bag contained a passport, a fancy smartphone and $5.

Details of the arrest were not provided.

12 buck beat

A thief mugged and battered a man after asking him for a few bucks near the corner of Devoe and Leonard streets on Sept. 12.

The victim told cops that he was near the intersection at around 6:25 am when man approached and said, “Give me $12 or I’m going to shoot you.”

The thief did not display a gun, and the would-be victim declined to provide the cash.

That’s when the thug — who cops said has a tattoo depicting three raindrops — pummeled the man, knocking him to the ground and taking his wallet, which contained a lot more than $12.

The thief fled with $140 — and the victim ended up in Woodhull Hospital.

Slasher

A teenager was slashed by a would-be thief who demanded cash near the corner of Moore Street and Bushwick Avenue on Sept. 11.

Cops said that the thug approached the teen at about 4:30 pm and said, “What’s in your pocket?” When the teen tried to leave, the thug punched and slashed him in the stomach — but fled before he did any more damage or swiped anything of value.

Man without van

A car thief stole a minivan off Lorimer Street on Sept. 11.

The owner told cops that he had parked the Toyota Sienna van — a popular model in the Hasidic section of Williamsburg — between Marcy and Lee avenues at around 12:30 pm.
