NEW YORK COMPUTERS STOLEN The Brooklyn Paper: Ratner robbed at Atlantic Yards:

Spa bummer

A popular Fifth Avenue day spa
lost a laptop computer off a front reception desk in a quick, closing-time theft on July 30.

Cops said that three men rushed into the store at around 6:10 pm and grabbed the laptop off the spa’s front desk — a quick-hit crime that has been occurring with increasing regularity along commercial avenues.

Indeed, the next day, a kid’s clothing store lost its laptop in a remarkably similar heist.

A worker at the kid’s store, between 13th and 14th streets, told cops that two men entered at around 3:15 pm, unplugged the laptop, grabbed two cellphones and left.

Big break-ins

A robber
swiped a fancy laptop computer out of an Eighth Avenue and Eighth Street apartment on Aug. 2, cops said.

The tenant, a 26-year-old woman, told police that when she returned home at around 9 pm, she discovered her rear window was open, her bedroom ransacked and her
computer, valued at $2,000.

She also lost a New Yorker tote bag, valued at $10, she said.

Another apartment — this one on President Street between Third and Fourth avenues — was robbed on the same day. Cops said the thief or thieves broke the deadbolt on the front door during their 3 pm heist, which yielded a $3,000 laptop, a $400

Sword dancer

A Second Street resident lost a laptop computer, a digital camera, a video camera and a decorative sword in a daylight break-in on July 30.

Cops said the perp or perp entered through a window of the flat, which is at Fifth Avenue, between 9:30 am and 9 pm. The decorative sword was valued at $100, but had vast personal value, a source said.
