Burg report
Here’s a run-down of the unlucky souls who got their stockings stolen over the holiday:
• A thief was not in the Christmas spirit when he broke into a Penn Street apartment between Dec. 25 and 26 and took $100. The victim, who lives between Bedford and Wythe avenues, told cops that he returned at around 9 pm on Boxing Day to find that Santa hadn’t come to visit, just a thief who had entered through the back door.
• A thief busted into an apartment while the tenants were away on holiday, making off with $1,000 in gear on Dec. 26. One of the tenants told cops that he returned to his apartment on Powers Street between Leonard and Lorimer streets at around 2 pm only to find his Nintendo Wii, a digital camera and $500 missing.
• A thief swiped an assortment of plumbing tools from a construction site on Grand Street between Clinton and Pitt streets on Dec. 23. The contractor told cops that he discovered the crime early the next morning, when he found that the thief had entered through a hole that had been cut in a nearby wooden gate.
Purse pilfered
A bandit swiped a woman’s purse on the L train on Dec. 26, making off with her phone, $200, and Italian ID.
The 61-year-old victim told cops that the thief made his move around 6 pm at the Morgan Avenue stop.
Grand theft auto
A driver who left his car idling on S. Ninth Street on Dec. 24 returned minutes later to find it gone.
The victim told cops he had last seen his 1994 Mercedes Benz where he left it between Bedford Avenue and Berry Street at around 6:30 am.
