Bad car-ma
A ne’er-do-well swiped a bunch of stuff — including his sunglasses and wallet — from a man’s car parked on Smith Street on Sept. 23, police said.
The guy parked his white Toyota illegally and left it unlocked between Second and Carroll streets at 6 pm, and when he returned at 7:45 pm, he realized a punk had reached inside, and took his swiss army knives, wallet, lottery tickets, and change, worth hundreds, according to authorities.
Electronic shock

Nabbed after punch

Costly meal
