Today’s City Room section of The New York Times focuses on the rash of burglaries that has hit the Heights, which have been aided by unlocked windows and doors.
“Oh no, we don’t lock our doors often,” said Allen Tobias, 67, who has lived in Brooklyn Heights since 1984. “You get used to a certain level of comfort and you don’t go back too easily. But I locked my door today. The burglaries were right around the corner.”
The Times mentioned the Remsen Street burglary featured in Tuesday’s blotter, as well as two subsequent burglaries on Willow Street. Another burglary turned out to be a messy apartment.
