Bruce Ratner’s So Loaded, He Leaves $400 Hammers Lying Around!
When you start construction pre-emptively, there’s always the danger that people will swipe stuff left unattended:
One of Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards construction sites was robbed of hundreds of dollars in equipment, cops said.
According to the police report, Forest City Ratner Companies said that unknown perps entered the construction site — on Pacific Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues — between 1:30 pm on Aug. 1 and 9 am on Aug. 3 and stole two $300 saws, two $300 drill sets, a $500 generator, and a $400 hammer.
It is unclear why no one apparently noticed the alleged crime for most of the day Wednesday and all of Thursday before it was reported to the 78th Precinct on Friday morning.
(What exactly does a $400 hammer do anyway?)
