Very Important Purse MissingIt seems that even VIPs have to keep an eye on their own stuff. At 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, a 31-year-old Staten Island woman seated at a VIP table at club Haus at 285 West Broadway asked a security guard to keep an eye on her bag while she stepped away for a few minutes. When she returned to the table at 4:15 a.m., however, her bag was gone. A search turned up nothing. The items stolen included a handbag valued at $9,000, a cell phone priced at $600, and $100 in cash.

Bike StolenIt’s apparently still open season on Ducatis. At 6 p.m. on Nov. 5, a man parked his motorcycle in front of 165 Duane St. and headed off to work. When he returned at 11:45 p.m., his red 2010 Ducati bike was missing. The motorcycle is valued at $5,000.

Robbin’ Robin’sHow do you make a pair of jeans irresistible to shoplifters? Price it at $600. On Nov. 1, a 25-year-old man entered the Robin’s Jean Store at 60 Grand St. about 5 p.m., took four pairs of Binets, worth a total of $2,400, off the shelf, and walked out of the shop, heading in an unknown direction. A search of the neighborhood proved fruitless.

The items stolen included a Nala Body Nude bodysuit valued at $1,695, and a Gina Body bodysuit priced at $505.
