Sign attached to Zaytoons outdoor dining partition Hang on to your personal belongings while sitting at an outdoor restaurant table on Smith Street. While you are looking over a menu, someone may be eyeing your pocket book.
According to the Brooklyn Paper's Police Blotter, that is exactly what happened on April 22nd. The newspaper article does not mention the name of the restaurant, but for about two weeks now, Zaytoons has posted signs like the one shown above to their outdoor area. So, next time you dine al fresco, be careful.
From The Brooklyn Paper, May 8th 2008Unmasked man
A man brazenly reached over a gate at a Smith Street restaurant and stole a woman’s purse in plain sight of the victim and her friend on April 22, yet neither woman got a good look at him.
It wasn’t too long before police found a man with her purse on Hoyt Street at 10 pm.
The pocketbook was returned to its rightful owner, but because the lady wasn’t positive it was the same man who had interrupted her dinner, he was not arrested.
