Grand theft auto
Some crook drove off with a man’s van he parked on Bragg Street on July 27.
The victim told police that he left his 2002 Ford EC3 van between Avenues V and W at 10:30 am, and returned four hours later to find an empty spot where his van was. The man told police he had both sets of keys for his vehicle, and he didn’t owe any money on the thing, so it shouldn’t have been repossessed.
