76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
O Henry
Some jerk drove off with a man’s car that he left parked on Henry Street on Jan. 17, cops said.
The 33-year-old victim said he parked his Honda between Sackett and Degraw streets at 3 pm and, when he came back on Jan. 20 at 10 pm, the car was gone — and with it, $5 in change from the center compartment, a global positioning system device, and a pair of sunglasses.
The victim was not sure if he had locked his vehicle and there were no signs of a break-in at the scene, cops said.
Tool time
A band of thieves stole construction and photo gear from a tool rental trailer near Smith Street sometime between Jan. 17 and Jan. 20, police said.
The crafty crooks entered through the screen door of the trailer near Huntington Street between 3:30 pm on Jan. 17 and 5 am on Jan. 20 and ran off with a demolition hammer, hammer drill, and Canon camera, cops said.
Yellow fellow
A burglar dressed in yellow broke into a Court Street building on Jan. 21, cops said.
The prowler pried open the door of the building between Huntington and West Ninth Street with a screwdriver around 8:15 am and fled shortly thereafter on a bicycle, according to a police report. Cops are not sure if the intruder, who was wearing yellow headgear and a yellow jacket, took anything.
Doff my cap
A delinquent stole a hubcap from a woman’s parked car on Richards Street behind the Red Hook Houses sometime between Jan. 16 and Jan. 17, police said.
The 48-year-old victim left her Nissan between King and Sullivan streets at 8 pm on Jan. 16 and, when she came back at 5:30 am on the next day, a hubcap was missing from her left rear tire, according to cops.
