The second time, the thief or thieves weren't so lucky. They cut through a fence, and also cut locks on a trailer and two storage containers, causing damage, but took nothing.

Bike goes missing 

A 51-year-old female came home from work on July 19 and found her bike and two bike locks missing from the second floor hallway of her Degraw Street apartment, cops said. The silver mountain bike was worth $100 and the two locks were worth $100.

Large amount of cash taken from bedroom closet

A 72-year-old President Street woman put $1,200 in a bank envelope and put in her bedroom closet for safekeeping.

Purse snatch at McDonald's

On July 23 around 3:30 p.m., the woman got up to throw her trash away, and left, leaving her purse on the back of her chair. When she got home, she realized she didn't have her purse, and called police.

The woman lost a Coogi bag, a debit card, her vehicle registration and title, and her driver's license, Dolce & Gabbana prescription sunglasses, a Cuban link handmade bracelet worth $1,200 and a Guess wallet worth $100.
