Holy robbery! Thief steals charity money from synagogue

78th Precinct

Park Slope

Oh, God!

A perp swiped a laptop and some charity money from a synagogue on Eighth Avenue between July 14 and 17.

The 43-year-old victim told cops she locked her office at Park Slope Jewish Center near 14th Street at 2 pm, then came back three days later and discovered her laptop — and $100 worth of donated money — gone.

Shady sedan

A perp struck a man in the back and took his cash on Fifth Street on July 18.

The 27-year-old victim told cops he was between Fourth and Fifth avenues at 12:20 pm when a woman walked up and asked, “How do you get to the subway?”

A second person then came up from behind the victim and struck him in the lower back with a blunt object — before snatching his cash and jumping in a light-colored sedan.

Police are investigating if the two people were working together.

Xanny pack

A jerk swiped a fanny pack full of drugs from a restaurant-goer on Fifth Avenue on July 20.

The 53-year-old victim told cops he was eating at Daisy’s Diner near Eighth Street at 12 am when he went outside for a cigarette. He set his fanny pack on top of a bike, finished his smoke, then went inside.

When he came back a minute for the pack a minute later, it was gone, along with Xanax medication, eyeglasses, and a credit card inside.

Bad Apple

A jerk shoved a man to the ground on Eighth Avenue on July 16 — and ran off with his iPod.

Window basher

A wannabe thief damaged a car on Berkeley Place sometime between July 11 and July 17.

The 29-year-old victim told cops he parked his 2012 black Chevy Equinox near Seventh Avenue at 5 pm, went home, then came back six days later and spotted the window of his ride broken and steering parts busted.
