Historic Purse SnatchSomething unnatural happened to a museum visitor recently. At 12:20 p.m. on Thursday, April 21, a 57-year-old woman left her purse unattended on a first-floor bench in the American Museum of Natural History.

Duced OutWith robbers on the prowl, some motorcycle riders probably wish they could also be motorcycle hiders. At 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19, a man parked his 2012 Ducati outside 8 West 76th St. When he returned the following morning at 10:30 a.m., he found that his Duc had been deducted.
