Car Left on Blocks
A crook stole four tires and four rims off a luxury car parked on Sixth Avenue sometime between May 30 and May 31.
The 50-year-old victim told police she left her blue 2012 Infiniti in the care of a friend to watch while she was on a trip to London for the week. The 71-year-old friend told police that he parked the car between Prospect and Park places at 6 p.m. May 30 and all was intact. But when he went to check on the car the next day at 7:30 a.m., all four tires and rims were missing.
