Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Road rage
A miffed motorist whacked a pedestrian over the head with a pipe after an argument on Third Avenue on June 10, police said.
The argument started after the driver took a turn a bit too close to the guy crossing the street at 77th Street around 3:45 pm, police said.
He pulled over and the two got into a shouting match, but the driver cut it short when he took out a pipe and hit the man, according to police.
On the Lam-bo
A thief made off with a man’s Lamborghini sports car parked on 100th Street on June 10, according to law enforcement officials.
The gearhead parked his car near Fourth Avenue around 8:45 pm and returned about three hours later to find his $300,000 Murcielago — of which only 5,000 were made — missing. He also told police his sunglasses and E-ZPass were in the car at the time.
Take a day off
Car thieves stole a man’s work van while he was visiting a friend on 66th Street on June 7, police said.
The guy parked his car between Eighth Avenue and Bravo Boulevard around 9 pm and came back just before 1 am to find his van missing. Police said there was no broken glass at the scene.
Man without a van
A thief also stole a work van a few blocks away on Seventh Avenue on June 8, police said.
The owner parked near 64th Street around 11 pm and returned the next morning to see it had vanished into thin air. Police again said there was no broken glass at the scene and the owner told them he had both sets of keys.
Heavy haul
A cat burglar broke into a Third Avenue business on June 11, according to a police report.
The thief broke open a side window of the business near 96th Street sometime between 7:30 pm and 7 am the next day. He opened a cabinet, stole roughly $800 worth of quarters, and then left through the same window, police said.
