Split hairs
A thief stole a hairdresser’s wallet from a bench outside a Bond Street salon on Aug. 1.
The 29-year-old stylist told police that she entered the beauty parlor near Atlantic Avenue at 2:20 pm and realized that she had left her billfold outside. When she went to retrieve it, it was gone.

No kidding
