78th Precinct
Park Slope
Ooga-booga
A thief stole two safes containing a total of $2,500 from a coffee shop on Fifth Avenue on June 3.
Security cameras at Gorilla Coffee between Park and Prospect places caught the thief at 4 am opening the shop with a key. He then removed both safes from the storage room — whether it was from big, gorilla-like muscles or some other method, the cameras didn’t catch — before the shop opened for business that day.
Failure gym
A thief broke into a gym on President Street and stole a laptop and some petty cash overnight on June 2.
An employee of Triumph Gym between Third and Fourth avenues told cops that sometime between closing at 10 pm and opening the next morning at 5:30, a thief came into the gym through a back window, took an $800 laptop and $11, and left through the front door.
Bike lame
A thief stole a $2,200 mountain bike from a home on Garfield Place on June 1.
The victim told cops that a thief broke into his apartment between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West after 3 pm and took his fancy Italian-made bike.
