Picked it out
A pilferer stole a woman’s wallet with nearly $1,100 and various credit cards inside while she was shopping in a Third Avenue store on March 23.
The woman was walking through the store at 37th Street at around 1 pm when the perp went inside her purse and grabbed the wallet, according to the report.
Not-so-street smart
Cops cuffed a man for pushing another man to the ground and stealing $90 from him on Third Avenue on March 23.
The assault occurred at 50th Street, between 2:30 and 3:30 pm, and police arrested him later that same day when the victim pointed him out.
To thieve or not to thieve
A burglar broke into a Seventh Avenue bodega through its basement door sometime overnight on March 23.

The shop owner said he was unsure if anything was taken.
