84TH PRECINCT
Brooklyn Heights–
Dumbo–Boerum Hill–
Downtown
Police arrested a man who
they said tried to steal a woman’s
comforter on the subway
at the Hoyt Street station on
March 4.
The woman got on the
Brooklyn-bound A train in
Manhattan at 6 pm and put the
comforter she had just bought
next to her on the seat, according
to the police.
Then she noticed the suspect,
whom she said she knows
from a program, cops said.
After she acknowledged
him, he then allegedly took
her quilt and made a run for it
at the station near Schermerhorn
Street, with the woman
in pursuit, according to police.
The two allegedly struggled
trying to wrest the blanket
from each other and the
suspect came out on top and
fled the scene, the authorities
said.
Whacked
A lout attacked and robbed
a woman on State Street on
March 5.
The victim told cops that
the ne’er-do-well took her
bag and then whacked her
in the head with it, between
Bond and Nevins streets at
11:10 pm.
Liquor looted
A burglar stole liquor
from an Adams Street diner
in the early morning hours
of March 9.
The nogoodnik got into

rear door, and took three bottles
of liquor worth almost
$3,000, according to the authorities.
Rude awakening
A thief stole a man’s backpack
on the Q train on March
1.
The victim fell asleep after
he got on the Manhattanbound
train at Coney Island
at 5 pm and nodded off, according

Avenue station near Flatbush
Avenue later and noticed that
someone had stolen his bag —
which contained birth certificates,

and keys, cops said.

dos,’ ” said dominatrix Charlotte
Taillor. “I told my friends
that she’s a humiliatrix, but I
don’t have a safe word!”
Charlotte Taillor moved her
adults-only classroom, called
the Taillor Collective, from
nearby Crown Heights to a
Quincy Street residential unit
between Bedford and Nos-
Bdsm business.
Miller also organized
several meetings of the 200
Quincy St. Block Association
to complain about Taillor,
most recently convening
the group on March 6,
where she derided some of
the dom’s clients as “creepy”
kidnappers.
“It may be a prejudice of
mine, but once the activity
they have doesn’t get them
off anymore, what are they
going to do, snatch a kid, or
a woman off the street?” she
said. “Some of these guys are
really creepy looking, that’s
what really bothers me.”
Following the meeting,
Miller clarified her accusations,
telling this newspaper
Taillor’s clientele are “transients”
and that she doesn’t
like to see strangers on her
block.
“They’re not people that are
regular to our neighborhood,”
she said. “You watch who’s
who in the neighborhood, and
what’s going on, you want to
know where they’re coming
their from.”
And when asked what specifically
made the male patrons
she ridiculed “creepy,”
Miller pointed to “big afros”
and generally “unkempt looking,
scruffy individuals.”
Some neighbors stood
behind Miller at the recent
block-association meeting,
including one woman who
exclaimed, “But what about
the kids?!”
But other Quincy Street
residents supported Taillor’s
brand of kinky commerce,
with another resident admitting
she had no idea about the
sex business on her block until
Miller raised a stink.
“As a neighbor, this sounds
like a business I’d be happy
to have on this street,” said
Rebecca Israel.
City law allows locals to
operate home businesses in
residential buildings, but requires
that the property be primarily
used as a residence,
that at least one occupant work
as an employee, and that the
business take up no more
than a quarter of the overall
space, according to Buildings
Department spokesman
Andrew Rudansky, who said
the agency has yet to inspect
Taillor’s property.
Still, the dominatrix —
whose dilemma was first reported
by website Patch — is
doing everything in her power
to break her lease and move,
she claimed, including setting
up an online fund-raiser
to help cover the cost of relocating,
which she hopes to do
by the end of April.
trand avenues in December,
where she offers paid workshops
catering to the sexually
adventurous, including
lessons on bondage and paddling,
cross-dressing events
for guys, dirty drawing workshops,
and pegging classes for
women — a workshop that
attracts a disproportionate
amount of Jersey girls, the
kink maven claimed.
“Housewives from Jersey
want to know how to peg their
husbands,” Taillor said.
But once her neighbor Laurie
Miller found out that the
stream of people filing into
the building next door visited
to study the art of kink, she
called the cops, alerted local
Councilman Robert Cornegy
and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries —
neither of whom got back to
her, she claimed — and reported
the operation to the Department
of Buildings, complaining
the neighborhood’s
residential zoning should
be enough to prohibit her

ins Street sometime between
Feb. 7 and March 6.
The lout took the wires,
worth some $5,000, from the
building at Flatbush Avenue
in the span of a month, according
to cops.
Bar thief
A lout stole a man’s bookbag
at a Front Street bar on
March 9.
The victim told cops that
he left his bag — along with
his jacket, laptop, wallet, and
tablet — unattended in the watering
hole near Pearl Street
at 3:30 am, and when he returned
to it a half hour later,
somebody had taken it, police
said.
Nabbed
A filcher stole a woman’s
wallet at an Albee Square
West department store on
March 9.
The woman told police she
was browsing the store near
Fleet Street between 1:35 and
2:35 pm when her wallet went
missing from her bag, which
she had placed on her shopping
cart, according to the
authorities.
Phony
A fraudster scammed a
man out of his laptop with
fake cash on Jay Street on
March 5.
The victim arranged to
meet up with the hoaxer after
they sealed the deal via
the “Let Go” app, at High
Street at 3:30 pm, according
to cops.
The sneak gave the victim
$2,150 in cash for the computer,
but when he later went
to deposit it, an official at the
bank told him that 21 of the
$100 bills were fake, according
to police.
88TH PRECINCT
Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
This is not a drill
A malefactor tried to burgle
a woman’s Clinton Avenue
home on March 6.
The victim told cops she
was sitting in the living room
of her home near Gates Avenue
at 2:15 pm using her computer
when she heard a noise
behind her.
She turned around to see
an intruder holding a screwdriver,
who then ran out of the
apartment, apparently without
taking anything, according
to police.
Bunch of tools
Robbers stole equipment
from cars on Flushing Avenue
on March 7.
Surveillance cameras
caught the louts breaking

anything, and then opening
another car and taking two
drills and a meter tool, cops
reported.
Federal fraud
A fraudster scammed a
man out of $1,000 on March
5 at his Ryerson Street apartment.
The crook called the victim
at his home between Park
and Myrtle avenues claiming
to be a federal Social Security
agent. He threatened to
arrest the victim and confiscate
all his possessions if he
didn’t transmit money to him
through a credit card, which
the victim then bought explicitly
for that purpose, according
to cops.
Car break-in
A prowler looted a woman’s
car on S. Elliot Place on
March 7.
The victim left the car
parked between S. Portland
and Hanson Place at 7 am,
and when she returned just
before 11 pm, she saw that the
door was ajar and that someone
had taken cash and scattered
the stuff from the glove
compartment all over the front
seat, she told police.
Class dismissed
A thief stole a woman’s
bank cards at a Clermont Avenue
school on March 8.
The victim said she was
working in a classroom at the
school between Park and Myrtle
avenues from 7 am to 3 pm,
and left the cards on her desk
in a wallet while walking in
and out of the room to talk to
parents on her cellphone, police
reported.
When she reached the end
of her shift she noticed that
her bank cards were missing,
and she later found out that
the thief had made a purchase
with the cards, according to
cops. — Kevin Duggan

they said tried to steal shoes
from a Flatbush Avenue boutique
on Feb. 27.

Bogus Benjamin
Cops have given up the
hunt for the forger who attempted
to buy food at a Fifth
Avenue taco joint with bogus
cash on Feb. 27.
An employee at the store
between St. Marks Place
and Warren Street told police
the guy attempted to buy

3:50 pm.
The worker held on to the
bogus bill, and didn’t hand
over any food, but police have
closed the case without any
arrests, cops said.

was allegedly caught driving
drunk at Grand Army Plaza
and found in possession of a
machete on Feb. 28.

near Eastern Parkway at
9:20 pm, and when he pulled
him over, found he exhibited
all the classic symptoms of inebriation,
including bloodshot
eyes and slurred speech.
The cop also found the man
in possession of the brushclearing
tool, which earned
him a felony weapons charge,
according to police.
