68th Precinct
Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
iStole
A pair of punks jumped a man for his iPhone on 66th Street on Oct. 4, cops report.
The victim said he was walking near the corner of 10th Avenue at 4:10 am, talking on his mobile device, when the one of the fiends put him in a headlock from behind. The other thug then punched him in the face and grabbed the gadget, and the two scrammed.
Goldmine
A pirate plundered a treasure trove of gold jewelry from a 14th Avenue apartment on Oct. 1, police state.
The victim told cops he left his pad between 70th and 71st streets at 1 pm and came back at 5:30 pm to find his door unlocked. Inside, he saw that a scoundrel had pillaged the rooms and drawers, and made off with six gold rings, a gold chain, a gold pendant, two pairs of gold earrings, two gold bracelets, and $2,500 in cash.
Conned Ed
A burglar broke into a 76th Street basement on Oct. 1 — one day after a Con Ed worker took the key — according to cops.
The victim said the electrical company worker borrowed the key to open the elevator on the subterranean floor to the builidng between Third and Fourth avenues at 3 pm on Sept. 30. The victim said the worker completed his tasks downstairs, and gave a key back 15 minutes later.
That evening, the victim realized that the lineman had given him the wrong key. When the victim checked the cellar at 2:15 pm the next day, he discovered his bicycle, spray-paint gun, tile cutter, four saws, and five screwguns were all stolen.
Pedal pusher
A crook on two wheels stole a woman’s cash and Galaxy tablets from a car parked on 81st Street on Oct. 3, authorities allege.
The victim told police that she parked her car near Narrows Avenue at 3 pm, leaving her handheld computers and money on the front seat. When she went around to unload from the back, the free-wheeling fiend rolled up on his bike, opened the driver’s-side door, grabbed the valuables, and rode off.
Walled off
A lowlife lifted a woman’s forgotten wallet at 86th Street on Oct. 3, cops state.
The victim said she set her wallet down on the windowsill of a business near Fifth Avenue at 1:40 pm, and accidentally walked away without it. When she rushed back five minutes later, the billfold was no longer on the ledge — but in the hand of a shifty female passerby.
The victim said she struggled through the crowds to catch the femme fatale, but lost sight of her.
No direction home
A thief ripped off a global positioning system and medical device from the car of a Queens man parked on 75th Street on Sept. 28.
The victim said he left his vehicle between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue at 5 pm, and came back at 9 am the next day to discover the navigation and nerve-testing devices missing.
