Teachable Moment

Someone cleaned out a Brooklyn Technical High School classroom over the May 5 weekend, taking computers and other high-tech equipment.

Authorities said that they showed up on May 7 at the Fort Greene Place school to discover a broken window on a classroom door. Closer inspection revealed that four laptops, an iPhone and a stereo system had been taken.

Computer Rage

It was another busy week for thieves who like to steal computers. Here’s a roundup:

• A thief took a MacBook laptop from a Classon Avenue apartment on May 10, entering the building at Putnam Avenue between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

• Two laptops were swiped from an apartment on Grand Avenue between Putnam and Gates Avenues on May 11. The resident said that she was not around between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. when she returned home to find the laptops and a cellphone missing.
