FASHION ‘Punk’ rocks Celebrate steampunk culture, fashion and craftsmanship at DUMBO Loft on Oct. 24. What is steampunk, you say? Think “Victo- rian-era science fiction,” says writer August Wahnsinger, a student in the matter. “Anything that can be envisioned as a part of a scientifically ad- vanced ‘steam’ era can be properly described as steampunk, going back to the works of Mary Shelley, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.” Helping get you there are wearable wun- derkammer from Ami Nyitray Designs, unique vestments by Kristin Costa, and clothes with an old world charm from Berit New York. If you’re looking for a new bodice or clockwork- inspired accoutrements, this one’s for you.

Havemeyer burg A thief broke into a Have- meyer Street apartment on Oct. 8, stealing two comput- ers, a video recorder and a cellphone. The perp entered the apartment near S. First Street after its tenant left at 10:45 am. When she returned to her apartment an hour later, she found her stuff was stolen. — Aaron Short 94TH PRECINCT Greenpoint–Northside Gun threats Two hooligans held up a man for $45 with a hand- gun on Kingsland Avenue on Oct. 6. The victim told cops that he had just gotten off the L train and was near Herbert Street at about 9:10 pm when the two masked men came up from be- hind — one holding a gun. “Give me everything in your pockets,” the scary brute said while the jerk with the gun pointed it at the vic- tim’s face. When the victim hesitated, the gun-wielder said, “Move quicker or you’re going to get popped.” That’s when the man dropped $45 and an old cellphone. Bar flop A thief held up a bar-hop- per just outside The Abbey on N. 10th Street on Oct. 9. The slurring victim told cops that he left the bar, which is near Bedford Avenue, at about 5:40 am when the thug came up and said, “I am going to take your money.” The brute wrenched the man’s wallet and Blackberry cell phone out of his hands and fled. Electro-burg A burglar had all night to steal expensive electronics from a woman’s Richardson Street home on Oct. 5. The 43-year-old vic- tim said that she had been away all night — but when she returned to her home, which is between Lorimer and Leonard streets, at about 9 am the next day, her flat- screen TV,Playstation, com- puter and DVD player were gone. She told cops that she accidentally left the fire es- cape window ajar. This stinks A crook with a smell for expensive cologne broke into a Norman Avenue apartment on Oct. 8 and stole some ex- pensive stuff, including the victim’s Gucci body spray! The fragrant victim said that he left for work that morn- ing — smelling great — but when he returned to his apart- ment, which is near Diamond Street, at about 9:45 pm, his cologne, backpack, computer and 40-inch TV were gone. He also noticed that his front door had scratches. Busted through A quick-handed cretin busted through the front door of a N. Seventh Street apart- ment on Oct. 8 and stole a bunch of electronics, all dur- ing the two-hour window that the tenant was gone. The victim said she left the home, which is near Kent Av- enue, at about 3:30 pm. When she returned at 5:30 pm, the door was broken open and her computers and wireless router were missing. Killer app A biking hoodlum snagged an iPhone out of a woman’s hand on Skillman Avenue on Oct. 6 and fled — not realiz- ing that she had a fancy lo- cator on the device. The victim said that she was jogging near King- sland Avenue at about 6:35 pm when the perp rode by and snagged the brand new phone. He rode away, but the victim later told cops that she has a special program that allows her to track her phone from any computer. Cops expect to make an ar- rest soon. — Andy Campbell Miscellaneous Professional Services GARAGE AND PARTY/MEETING AUTOS FOR SALE ARCHITECTS LEGAL SERVICES PERSONAL TRAINER PROCESS SERVICES TUTORS YARD SALES 1958 CADILLAC SEVILLE, AWARD WINNING / LICENSED Elite, Accurate, Pro Process Serving Ph.D. Provides Outstand- COUP “RESTORED” Grey.
