94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Dude where’s my car?
An opportunistic thief drove off in a running car double-parked on Nassau Street on April 6, while the hungry owner was just grabbing a sandwich.
The malnourished motorist told police he left the keys in the ignition while he popped into a deli between Jewel and Diamond streets at 2:30 pm.
Two minutes later, he came out to find himself missing a ride, police said. The angry guy flagged down cops at the scene, but the car thief had already sped away, police reported.
Spotted!
Police cuffed a man who they say attempted to break into a N. 10th Street apartment on April 4.
The building owner told cops he spotted a man allegedly using a screwdriver to pick the lock of the fifth-floor apartment at 8 pm.
New ride
Someone pedaled off with a bike locked up on Box Street on March 26.
The owner told police he fastened the two-wheeler to the spot near Manhattan Avenue at noon, but when he returned, it was nowhere to be found.
Drunk in love
A one-night stand surprised her host by leaving his Bedford Avenue apartment with his belongings on April 10.
The man, who admitted he was drunk at the time, told cops he met the woman at a bar and invited her to his pad between 10th and 11th streets. When he woke up at 4:40 am she was gone — along with his stuff, according to a police report.
Restaurant robbery
A robber held up a Nassau Avenue restaurant on April 6.
Police said the baddie entered the eatery between Bridge and Duffield streets at 1:19 am and acted as if he had a concealed gun, demanding the cashier open the register.
The woman, working alone, obliged, and the snake ran off with $300, officials reported.
