Benz out of shape
A rogue stole oodles of goodies from a parked luxury car on Washington Avenue overnight on March 3.
The late model Mercedes Benz was parked between Lafayette and Greene avenues from 5 pm to 10:50 am, the 38-year-old owner told cops. When the driver returned he said someone had damaged the car and taken a lady’s ruby and diamond ring, an iPod, $200 and a gift card for $100.
All’s fair

Steal wheels
A thief got an easy one, stealing a rented car that had been parked on March 1 on Carlton Avenue with its doors unlocked.

Civic minded
Villains jacked a Honda Civic parked on Cumberland Street overnight on March 1.
