Hookup gone wrong
A house-guest ripped off a man’s Metropolitan Avenue home on Feb. 16, cops reported.
The victim said that he met a guy at a bar on Lorimer Street and invited him back to his apartment between Wythe Avenue and Berry Street.
The two fellows fell asleep at 4 am, and when the victim woke up at 5 pm, he found his smartphone, wallet, credit cards, clothing, and glasses all taken, according to police.
Grab bag
A sneak-thief ran off with a black bag containing $12,000 in cash from a Withers Street office on Feb. 17, according to officers.
An employee of the company between Morgan and Vardervoort streets said that he came back from making deliveries at 2 pm and put the black bag full of cash in a cubicle corner, a police report says.
The worker went to move his double-parked truck, and when he came back, the bag was nowhere to be found, he said.
