The world’s most intuitive thief – or more likely one with intimate knowledge of a secret cache of cash and jewelery – walked away from a Dyker Heights apartment with $22,800 worth of greenbacks and goods on September 12.
From Brooklyn Paper:
The victim said he left his home [on 14th Avenue] between 64th and 65th streets at 10:55 am, and came home to see that somebody had forced his door open and moved his kitchen stove into the middle of the room — and taken the cache of treasures hidden behind the appliance.
The final insult? Included in the burglar’s almost $23,000 haul was the victim’s $400 security camera.
