Fort Greene crime spree
We've found out in the past two days of two house robberies. In both cases, the robber was able to enter the house through the backyard-- one a ground floor apartment and another a third floor apartment.
In the ground floor apartment, the thief pushed in the screen, lifted up a window and opened up the backyard door. In the third floor apartment, the Spiderman-wannabe may have been hanging off the fire escape and opened up a window that was slightly ajar.
In both cases, the cops were called. No thief was apprehended.

Yep, the third floor one was my neighbor. Kinda freaky.
are you reading my blog, k or t?
Is there more of this type of crime going on recently?
In the past 8 years I can only remember hearing of one incident of something like this from people I know.
In the past month I've heard of 4, including an armed hold-up outside of a building in park slope. Another involved someone who had their door to their apartment kicked in after someone gained entry to the building through the back.
I hope this isn't a trend we're seeing.
yes, seems to be more and more of this.
Burglary has always been going on, it is not just some new trend.
When was the last time you heard of a locksmith going-out-of-business?
Closed and locked windows are not safe. A putty knife can be used to defeat the lock. Window gates are the only deterrent.
