From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Mugging On Banker Street?
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This item comes via a woman named Camille. She writes:
Hey Heather, just wanted to let you know about a mugging last week.
I don’t know if you post this kind of thing, but I wondered if it might help any readers avoid a similar situation. My boyfriend was mugged last Thursday night at 9 pm on Banker between Meserole and Calyer. Two late teens/early twenties guys approached him for directions, then grabbed him and threatened him with a box cutter. They had a little scuffle and pushed him down to the ground, where he hit his head. They took his wallet and phone. Tall good looking guy in baseball cap (turned backwards) and one short guy with chin-length hair wearing a white doo-rag.
I suppose if anyone saw/heard/knows anything, or found a brown leather wallet (kind of western looking old souvenir with a deer on it), it’d be great to know. The wallet may have been ditched near mccarren park.
Looks like it could be some repeat offenders, from this post on the Brooklyn Paper.
If you find this wallet please contact Camille via email at: camillemcmorrow (at) gmail (dot) com. And oh yeah— be careful out there!

Urban Fur: ?
This exceptionally friendly fellow hails from Franklin Street. He (she?) seems too friendly and well fed to be a stray. Anyone out there know his (or her) story?

New York Shitty Day Ender: ATM Abuse
Filed under: 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
My buddy Larry has a theory about what happens in New York City when the temperature reaches 90 degrees or more for an extended period of time. It goes more or less as follows:
- On the third day people will go absolutely nuts. Expect to see fighting.
- The fourth day will be pretty much be like the third. Stay indoors.
- By the fifth day people get tired and things settle down.
If what I have observed this week is any indication, his theory is spot on. CASE IN POINT: what I spied on Huron Street this afternoon.
Greenpoint’s first documented case of ATM abuse.
It takes a lot of strength (and anger) to do something like this.
Here’s a close up.
Methinks I’ll be staying indoors just a wee bit longer.

A Greenpoint Bomb Scare Update
Today I was contacted by someone we’ll call Q about yesterday’s bomb scare. He/she writes:
I have pictures of the “package” and some on the spot comments. i was there for two hours. LMK
To wit I replied:
I hope you were not one of the poor unfortunates that couldn’t go into their apartments because of that? Yeesh. Sure, send me over what you got. Thanks!
Sure enough, Q delivered the goods. He/she writes:
Attached are pictures of the device and the Bomb Squad investigating it. No, I was not misplaced, but did have a suggestion to what it might be. The bomb squad pretty much snubbed me.
Turned out I was right anyway. Being a biker (Motorcycle) I used to use a method (pictured) to adjust my carburetor.
So there have you.

When I saw this parked in front of Boneshakers today I simply had to pass it along here. Genius. Sheer genius.
