The car-nage continues in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill

Cops received reports of four car burglaries and four car thefts in the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill this week, not counting the 20-car window-smashing spree on Park Avenue early on Tuesday morning. Here’s how the rest went down:

• A scoundrel snatched a cellphone and $3,000 in cash from a company car while the driver made a delivery on Clinton Avenue on July 23, according to the authorities.

The driver told cops he parked the vehicle between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue at 3 pm, and when he returned 10 minutes later, the stuff was gone.

• A music-minded miscreant pilfered a pair of guitar amps from inside a parked car on Washington Avenue on July 17, cops said.

The 30-year-old victim recounted how he parked his 2001 Toyota Echo between Greene and Lafayette avenues, and when he came back at 1 am, the rear window was busted and the amps were gone.

• Another crook absconded with a microphone and a compact disc player from a car parked in a Rockwell Place parking lot on July 25, officers said.

The 49-year-old victim said when he went to pick up his car from the lot between DeKalb Avenue and Fulton Street at 8:30 am, the back passenger-side window was smashed and the equipment was nowhere to be found.

• A car burglar cleaned out the trunk of a vehicle parked on the corner of Ashland Place and DeKalb Avenue the next day, law enforcement officials stated.

The car’s owner reported he parked at the intersection at 3 pm and returned at 11:30 that night to find that his trunk had been raided. The no-goodnik made off with a toolset, some skin products, a flash drive, some blank T-shirts, and a credit-card swiping machine, according to a police report.

• An anti-social motorcycle-phile jacked a hog that on Adelphi Street sometime overnight on July 17, police said.

The ride’s 32-year-old owner said he parked the 2014 Kawasaki between Myrtle and Willoughby avenues at 8 pm on July 17, and when he returned at 6:30 am, it had disappeared. But the fellow assumed he had left the bike in a garage and went on a business trip for a week, per police. He came back on July 25 to discover the bike was not in the garage, prompting him to finally report it stolen, according to a police report.

• A thief wheeled off another motorbike from Clermont Avenue sometime between July 19 and July 21, cops said.

The 41-year-old biker stated that he parked his wheels between Park and Myrtle avenues at 4:30 pm on July 19. He arrived back on July 21 at 9:30 am and realized the bike had been stolen, police said.

• A miscreant stole a 1999 Dodge Caravan from its parking spot on the corner of Ashland Place and Myrtle Avenue on July 19 or 20, an NYPD account states.

The 42-year-old owner told police she parked it on July 19 at 6 pm and returned at 1 am the next day, but the minivan had vanished.

• Another Dodge Caravan was stolen from Park Avenue sometime between July 23 and July 24.

The 56-year-old owner said he parked somewhere on Park Avenue at 7:30 pm on July 23 and found himself down a van at 7:30 pm the next day.
