Thief loots car — then asks victim to call the cops

Looks like Bruce Ratner needs to employ some Parking Lot Protectors in addition to Target's Pocketbook Protectors.
Mall menaces
At least two crimes took place at the Atlantic Center Mall last week. Here’s what happened:
• A thug busted his way into a 2011 Toyota in the parking lot on July 27, taking a laptop computer he found inside.
The owner of the car parked his vehicle inside the Atlantic Avenue lot at 4:05 pm. When he returned nearly two hours later, he learned that someone had smashed his side window and removed a bag holding his computer.
• A 22-year-old man was arrested on July 25 after he tried to buy more than $9,000 in electronics — including five iPads — from the Best Buy inside the Atlantic Center Mall with a fraudulent credit card.
The man was arrested as soon as an employee learned that the credit card he had been reported stolen.
