Beaten for a backpack
The Brooklyn Paper

It's abundantly clear that the Atlantic Terminal Target could use wallet protectors in addition to its vaunted Pocketbook Protectors.
Target-ed
Once again, a handful of crimes took place at the Bruce Ratner-owned Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal malls this week. Here’s what happened:
• A sticky-fingered thief grabbed a diaper bag containing a wallet and cellphone during a sneaky Sept. 6 theft inside the Flatbush Avenue Target.
The 25-year-old victim was inside the big box store near Atlantic Avenue at 6:30 pm when the crook snagged the bag.
• A 48-year-old woman was arrested on Sept. 7 after she was caught shoplifting inside the Flatbush Avenue Target.
Store employees grabbed the woman at 8:30 pm — just before she could make off with more than $1,000 in baby formula, clothes, candy, cosmetics and a blender.
• A thief made off with a 21-year-old woman’s handbag on Sept. 11 as the woman shopped at the Marshalls on Atlantic Avenue.
The victim was scouting out sales inside the store at 6:20 pm when she left her belongings on the floor.
When she turned back a few moments later, her bag — which contained $400 an iPad and her Russian passport — was gone.
