Off the chain
A thief took off with a woman’s bike parked on Union Street on July 5.
The victim told cops that she chained her two-wheeler to a scaffold near Eighth Avenue around 8:24 pm and returned later to find it gone. Cops say a good Samaritan snapped a photo of the bandit in action as he fled, and left a photo of it at the site of the theft.
