One mean text
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Thomas Tracy
The week wouldn't be complete without a crime (or two) taking place in one (or both) of Bruce Ratner's malls.
iPod insult
A thief swiped an iPod from a 29-year-old woman on June 5 then insulted her intelligence during a text exchange later that day.
The woman said that she and the thief — an acquaintance — were leaving the Pathmark inside the Atlantic Center Mall at Atlantic Avenue and Fort Greene Place at 2 pm when the 24-year-old suspect asked to see her iPod Touch.
When the woman handed it over, the thief started to exit the cab, suddenly claiming he had to go back inside the supermarket.
The woman grabbed the iPod from him, but he snatched it back, explaining he’d return in a few minutes.
He didn’t.
Upset, the woman texted the suspect, asking him where he was so she could get her iPod back.
His response made it quite clear she wasn’t going to see him or the iPod again: “I’m at [the corner of] Psyche and You’re a Fool avenues.”
