Sweet Camero
A crook stole a man’s Camero right out of his E. 24th Street driveway sometime between Sept. 4 and 6.
The victim told police that he parked his 2011 Chevy Camero at his home between Quentin Road and Avenue R at 11 pm, and returned two days later to find an oil stain where his car had been. Cops couldn’t find any signs of breaking or entering at the scene, although a neighbor told police he saw someone take off with the car at 2 am on Sept. 6.
Backstabber
Some thug stabbed a man — in the back — numerous times on Nostrand Avenue on Sept. 6.
The victim told police that he was between Avenues V and W at 1:30 am, when the goon crept up behind him and thrust the blade in and out of his back. Cops described the victim as uncooperative and intoxicated, as paramedics took him to Kings County Hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, the crook fled on foot and, despite a police canvass of the area, managed to elude capture.
Scavenger
A crook salvaged rims and tires off of a man’s car he left parked along Ocean Parkway on Sept. 5.
The victim told police he parked his 2013 black Escalade between Avenues U and V at 5 am, and returned four hours later to find his ride resting on cinder blocks. Cops estimate the victim lost some $4,000 in rubber and chrome.
Times are a changin’
A young ne’er-do-well beat an older man inside an Avenue X bar on Sept 8 — bashing him in the face with a glass bottle.
The victim, 45, told police that he was inside the watering hole between McDonald Avenue and Stryker Street at 2:30 am when he was engaged in an argument with a 25-year-old man. The younger man ended the debate with the attack.
Cops couldn’t find the attacker despite a search of the area, and the bar doesn’t use surveillance on its patrons, according to police.
Unreal estate
A thief looted the Coney Island Avenue offices of a realty company on Sept. 4, making off with $7,000.
An employee told police that he had left he office between Avenue P and Quentin Road at 4 pm, and returned with his colleagues four days later following the Jewish holidays. Upon returning the men found that someone had managed to enter the business through the front door, and walk out with the cash.
There were no signs of breaking and entering in the burglary, but cops said that the surveillance camera hanging off the awning of a nearby furniture store may help them track down the crook.
Payday
A thief raided a woman’s E. Eighth Street home of nearly $20,000 in jewelry sometime after Sept. 4.
The victim told police that she left her home between Avenues R and S for vacation at 1 pm, returning four days later after her landlord gave her a call, letting her know that somebody had left a sliding door open at her home and “cut off” her alarm system, according to police.
When the victim returned she was horrified to discover a crook had cleaned out her jewelry, including a diamond bracelet valued at $6,000.
Dude, you need another Dell
Some crooks pried their way into an E. 12th Street construction site on Sept 6 — taking over $7,000 in Dell computers.
The victim told police that he left the building between Avenue P and Quentin Road at 5 pm, which was under construction, with the basement being used to store electronic equipment. The victim returned three days later to find the plywood that was covering a busted front window had been pried off, and that the basement had been looted, cops said.
Girls gone bad
Three 15-year-old girls robbed older girl of her iPhone on Stuart Street on Sept. 9.
The victim told police that she was near Fillmore Avenue at 1:30 pm, when the three girly goons grabbed her phone and fled.
