Jewel thief strikes Fourth Avenue apartment

78th Precinct

Park Slope

No thanks

A Park Slope jewel thief made off with a hefty bag of loot from an apartment on Fourth Avenue in a Thanksgiving burglary, cops said.

The victim went away on Nov. 26, making sure to lock the bedroom window and front door to his apartment between Bergen and Dean streets, according to a report. But when he returned on Nov. 28, a thief had managed to enter through the window and ransack a stash of jewelry, bagging rings, necklaces, and electronics worth $5,710 altogether, police related.

Window shopping

A swift crook swiped a pocketbook from a parked car at Bergen Street within a small window of time on Nov. 26, according to a report.

The victim left her car near Fourth Avenue at 11:57 am, and upon her return at 12:03 pm, found a bandit had made off with her pocketbook and the $170 in cash she had inside, cops said. There was no sign of forced entry, the report states.

Gadgets gone

A burglar ransacked a Sixth Avenue apartment while the tenants were at a movie on Nov. 23, NYPD officials said.

The couple returned to their home between Sixth and Fifth Streets at 7 pm on Nov. 23 to find a burglar had swiped an iPad valued at $600 and a MacBook Pro valued at $1,700, according to a report.

They used an app to track the iPad to a location in Coney Island, but the trail went dead there, cops recounted.

Closing time

A customer at a Seventh Avenue laundromat was unhappy with the closing time and attacked an employee over her inability to wash her clothes on Nov. 25, according to the authorities.

The angry patron showed up to the laundromat between 14th and 15th streets at 9:15 pm, too late to wash the load of laundry she had in tow, cops said.

An argument with the worker turned physical when the disgruntled customer punched him in the mouth, and then she fled the scene, a report states.
