A Mugging and a Burglary on Park Slope Parents

One member of Park Slope Parents posted this:

I was mugged this afternoon in Prospect Park while taking a stroll 
through the park with my 3 year old son. A young man threatened me 
that he had a gun and stole my iphone. Even though I was wondering 
whether or not he had it, I obviously didn't want to take any 
chances. What really shook me is that this all happened with my 
little boy with me, and in broad daylight.

Just an FYI that someone broke into our tenants apartment in our brownstone located at 14th St and 4th Ave. They mainly took electronics. I heard of random break-ins this summer through unlocked windows, but here they somehow managed to get through our front door and then cut a perferct square through the drywall in the hallway to unlock the door to the apartment. It appears that they used bedsheets to carry the items out so as to look like laundry. Not sure really when it happened as tenant was gone all weekend, but hunch it that it happened Friday during the day. Please spread the word and be careful.
