Welp, HQ is still galavanting what with the 86 Mets so here’s an item from our pals at the Brooklyn Paper:

Brooklyn Paper: A lowlife snatched the phone from a woman’s hand while she was at a playground near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade on June 8, officers reported.

The 23-year-old woman said she was on the playground near the corner of Columbia Heights and Pierrepont Street at 9:15 pm, when the fleet-footed cretin crept up from behind and grabbed the phone from her hand. The villain took off on foot down Columbia Heights towards Clark Street, cops said.

    I’ve been watching my “Elementary”.

    I also experienced a jump in my ability to diagnose difficult syndromes after watching “House”.

    Article in the Times a coupla days ago about kill switches for cellphones. The iPhone already has this, other devices to follow. Once you install this and activate it, the stolen phone is inert. Result: phone thefts are already down 30% in NYC.
