Mirror, mirror
A thief stole the side-view mirrors from a car on Cranberry Street sometime between Nov. 15 and Nov. 18.
The vehicle’s owner said he parked between Willow Street and Columbia Heights at 6 pm on Nov. 15. Three days later, the mirrors were missing.
Smoked out
A tobacco fiend stole 12 cartons of cigarettes from a Montague Street drug store on Nov. 17.
A witness told police that the thief entered the store at Clinton Street at 10:30 pm and removed the cancer sticks from a display case behind the counter.
The cartons are worth $1,378, making this anything but a petty crime.
Subway bust
Police arrested two men for stealing an iPod at the Pacific Street subway station on Nov. 17.
The victim said that he was on a Brighton Beach-bound B train at 7 pm when the men elbowed him in the face, grabbed his music player and fled.
Cops arrested two men later — and they still had the stolen device, police said.
Copper heist
A thief broke into a Schermerhorn Street construction site overnight on Nov. 16 to steal the most precious of no-so-precious metals: copper.
A supervisor at the building, between Hoyt and Bond streets, said that he closed the site at 4 pm and returned at 6 am to find $400 worth of the new gold missing.
High schooled
A thief stole a laptop from a high school on Flatbush Avenue Extension on Nov. 15.

49 Flatbush Avenue Ext.
