Police Blotter: Transportation Troubles

The following information comes from police reports from the 72nd Precinct of the NYPD. It does not indicate a conviction.

Home Improvements 

A Windsor Terrace woman reported last Tuesday that someone racked up more than $3,000 in charges on her Home Depot card.  

Though the victim, 45, never lost the card itself, she found that someone had nevertheless had a field day at the hardware mega store using her account number. She has since closed both the card and the account, and no arrests have been made. 

EZ Pass Snatch

A Staten Island woman's GPS and EZ Pass were snatched from inside her car in Windsor Terrace last Thursday. 

The 34-year-old victim told police that the door to her 2008 Honda Odyssey—which was parked on East 2nd Street near Vanderbilt Street—was possibly jimmied open, but that she may have also left the door unlocked.

The total losses amount to around $200. 

Hot Wheels 

A Park Slope man parked his car in Windsor Terrace last Thursday night and returned in the morning to find it bereft of all four tires and rims, police said.  

The victim, 30, left his 2010 Honda Accord on 11th Avenue near Prospect Avenue around 11 p.m. Police were called to collect evidence the following morning, but there were no cameras in the area and no arrests have been made. The tires and rims were worth around $2,300. 

Missing Motorcycle 

A Windsor Terrace man's motorcycle was stolen last Monday from behind a gate on his own property, police said. 

The victim parked his 2009 Ducati behind a fence at his home on McDonald Avenue and Vanderbilt Street, only to return to find it gone. The bike, estimated at $12,000, did not have theft coverage. Police searched the area following the report, but no arrests have been made.
