Suitcase stolen from jitneyHere’s a disquieting story for Hamptonites. At 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 27, a 60-year-old woman got off the Hampton Jitney bus at West 82nd Street and Broadway and discovered that someone had taken her suitcase with contents valued at $4,300.

Sinus ReliefOne area shoplifter must have significant issues with his nasal passages. At 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 2, a man entered the Duane Reade store at 4 Amsterdam Avenue and took off with Mucinex valued at $1,084.

Century MarkIt appears that a local Century 21 store might need to post a new sentry. At 7 p.m. on Friday, September 1, a 33-year-old woman entered the Century 21 store at 1972 Broadway and made off with $1,400 worth of clothing.

Motorcycle stolen

It’s too bad that Honda vehicles don’t have thief-proof security as well as bulletproof reliability. At 9 p.m. on Friday, September 1, a 55-year-old man returned to the spot outside 52 West 83rd Street where he had parked his 2002 Honda motorcycle, only to find it was missing.
