Laser thief
A thief stole laser surveying equipment from a Shore Parkway storage container sometime between Sept. 26 and 27.
The victim told police that he locked up his storage container between Knapp and Brigham streets before he left for home at 2 pm that day, and returned at shortly after 5 pm the next day to find the container open and his tools missing.
According to the victim, the crook made off with a $1,200 Topcon Laser Survey tool, along with $400 worth of various other tools.
Cash envelope
A crook looted a man’s Bedford Avenue apartment on Sept. 26, taking an envelope with more than $6,000 inside.
The victim told police that he left his home between Voorhies Avenue and Shore Parkway at 12:45 pm, and returned the next day at 2 pm to find someone had rifled through his closet and removed an envelope with $6,300 inside. The crook nabbed some jewelry as well, and there were no signs of forced entry, cops said.
The iPhone job
Cops are hunting for two gun-wielding thugs who they say robbed a Nostrand Avenue electronics store on Sept. 27, taking 16 iPhones.
Employees at the chain store between Avenues X and Y told police they were working there at 6:55 pm when the goons burst in, waving pistols. One of the crooks grabbed an employee and ushered him towards the back of the store, where he forced the man to open a locker containing the pricey smartphones.
Meanwhile, the other accomplice looted the register, before both thieves fled in a gray Range Rover. Altogether, the suspects made off with more than $10,000 in electronics and cash, cops said.
Computer crook
A thief stole two laptops from a man’s E. 22nd Street apartment sometime between Sept. 26 and 28.

Knuckle head
A man was arrested for possessing brass knuckles after cops spotted him driving down Guider Avenue without a license plate on Sept. 27.
The arresting officer reported that he was near Coney Island Avenue at 10:35 pm when he spotted the suspect driving his 2007 BMW without a plate and pulled him to the curb.
There, the officer allegedly spotted a set of brass knuckles in plain view inside the suspect’s center consol and arrested him, cops said.
Tough love
