Singing the Blues

Two young women, 21 and 22-years-old, learned the valuable lesson to never leave anything, especially valuables, unattended in a public place. Last Saturday, around 1:40 a.m., both women decided to get their karaoke fix at a bar on Second Ave. They told police that they put their belongings down in the rear of the bar and went up to sing. They noticed a young black man, about 5'5", lurking near their stuff. When the women finished singing, they realized that phones and money were missing from their coat pockets. The pair then stepped outside the bar and confronted the man who they saw hovering near their stuff. Words were exchanged and another unknown man stepped between the women and the man they were arguing with fled on foot. The property taken from the two women included two smart phones, cash, a designer bag, wallet and makeup valued at more than $1000.
