Take-ation

At 7 a.m. Tuesday, April 16, a 57-year-old woman left her apartment on West 69th Street to go on vacation. When she returned home June 5 at 10:30 p.m., she noticed that her gold chain and earrings were missing. She also discovered that someone had cashed two checks on her bank account totaling $7,000. The woman had given permission to a dog walker, a garden planter, and floor repairers to enter her apartment while she was away. The lifted loot included a gold chain valued at $2,000, gold earrings valued at $2,000, plus the $7,000 in checks cashed, for a total haul of $11,000.
