I get called names when I post "negative" information about the crime in our area so I'll leave it up to the audience to decide if they want to know about a "home invasion" robbery that occured on X-mas eve.

On Christmas Eve at around 10:30pm a man called 911 stating that he had been stabbed earlier in the night. When police arrived that had realized that the stabbing occured more recently than the dispatcher thought. They also found out that the man had been beaten, robbed, tied up and left for dead. He stated that 3 unknown males bust into his apt. They then beat and stabbed him. At some point they tied the man up and stole several thousand dollars worth of jewelry. It took the man a long time to untie himself and call police. He was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. I don't know the exact address but it was on Park Place near Vanderbilt.And that's the way it is.

When did this happen? I live on Park Place by Vanderbilt. I don't recall seeing a bunch of squad cars or EMS recently."Clamato! Straight Up! No chasah!

I think this is a hoax. I live on Park Place near Vanderbilt and was home all night on X-Mas Eve and never heard any police or EMS either.
-
When I was walking home from the 7th Ave Q station on Xmas eve, I saw two ambulances on park near Vanderbuilt and wondered what had happened.
-
Nope, no hoax. I promise.And that's the way it is.

That's easy enough. Pry the door open, pick a lousy lock, come through a fire escape or even through the window from the roof. It can be as simple as knocking on the door and saying "Land Shark"."Clamato! Straight Up! No chasah! -

Buy a decent tubular or deadbolt drop lock (or a cylinder put in your existing lock) such as Medeco or Multi-lock. Get a ADT or other alarm system. Make sure your windows are locked. Look through your peep hole to see who is knocking on your door. Personally go down to the entrance/exterior door if someone rings the bell looking to get buzzed in. A NYPD cop or detective can also give you tips if asked. I believe they do this as a community service."Clamato! Straight Up! No chasah!

Posts: 9,622Ask to see ID for anybody who shows up to do any work without a uniform, marked car/van, or unplanned. Call companies to verify that they sent somebody if you need to (Time Warner, ConEd, etc.). Don't be intimidated to ask as many questions as you want/need to. Make sure that if you have a front door to buzz people in that nobody is allowed to keep it propped open (my friend lived above a place that did catering and they frequently did this when expecting/moving packages....it's how they got into her building when she was robbed). -
230 Park Place is not a valid address

Museumlady » 230 Park Place is not a valid address
What do you mean? It's a nice building and seems quite "valid". -
Looking at Pshark- it goes from 226 park to 248 Park. Regardless, I do appreciate hearing about items like this so that I have a sense of what is happening around me.

Great piece of advice Flexi never even thought of that. -

I walked by it yesterday. It's the large apartment building on the Carneviento side of the street. Isn't that a doorman building, btw? -
Yes it is. Have you ever seen the mural in the lobby? It used to freak me out when I was a kid. It still does."Clamato! Straight Up! No chasah!

I've never been inside, but I'll definitely stop in and check it out tomorrow. -
As for the victim hes OK. He was pistol whipped, not stabbed. This incident appears to be related to an earlier encounter with 2 prostitutes. If that helps anyone sleep better at night. (not a random home invasion). As for safety tips you can contact the Crime Prevention Officer at your local precinct and request a free crime prevention survey.

sounds like a CSI episode. in any case, john or not, glad he's ok.like a smoked meat with an earthy youth overnote -
King, thanks for the update. Early on it seemed like a stabbing. BTW, it is a doorman building and the doorman is who let the perps in. Makes you wonder.And that's the way it is.

ParadeRest » BTW, it is a doorman building and the doorman is who let the perps in. Makes you wonder.
considering that the two years I spent in a doorman building involved me fending off advances by more than one doorman and actually having a relationship with one of them (he offered me a massage in a vulnerable moment, what can I say?), I'm not surprised. the alleged "safety" of having a doorman is minimal, at best. doormen are awesome for dry cleaning delivery and package receipt. not safety.like a smoked meat with an earthy youth overnote -
I have lived on St Marks for 22 years, i had never been robbed til last week, when iwas robbed at gun point inside a building that has a doorman, i have never been paranoid about crime even when there was crack everywhere, but i do think crime is going up.Plus the demographics of people moving into the neighborhood are prime targets for muggingnsw!!

armchair_warrior » i always hated the idea of doorman. they know your business and they are utterly almost useless!!!
The doormen I have experienced (not sexually) have at least been able to not let in the bad guys though. If somebody comes, they call you in your apartment. If you're not there or you do not want said person allowed up, they don't let them. I don't understand why this old man's doorman allowed the attacker into the building.Do you know where you're going to

A crime prevention survey in a nutshell involves the Crime Prevention Officer going into and around your residence in an efforf to find easy entry points for would be criminals. Recomendations are given as far as lighting, Locks, windows and even home security systems. On a sepaerate note, most home invasion robberies usually involve a specifically targeted individual, often drug dealers. Usually the perpetrator has detailed knowledge about the victim.

It's hard not to be amused by the thread (violence against people is bad and wrong, but if I’m killed while doing modern dance on the BQE… Well…): first - Uzi toting ninjas invade home during prayer meeting leaving homeowner with multiple stab wounds. middle- Thugs sneak by doorman randomly select apartment dweller pistol whipping him in the process. end - Fool pistol whipped by enterprising trollop.

Perhaps the post should have read, "Does Anyone Wanna hear about a guy that got pistol-whipped due to his relationship with some ho's?" Until it is more clearly explained, itmakes sense that if this guy had relations with these women and their helpful men, that the doorman would let them in becasue he may have given them permission to enter. Also, if these people frequent the man's apartment, there would be no suspicion by the doorman to let them in. I have friends in doorman buildings who let me enter simply becasue I'm a familiar face who often visits the same apartment. There is nothing odd or weird, or usually unsafe about that. In other words, this is isolated and, it sounds like, there was a history between groups involved.The best of men aren't at their "best" at all times.

Thank you, LeeHo for your monday morning simplification of the event. I personally saw the victim in the hospital moments after he was rolled in and spoke with the officers who escorted him. The victims original story was the story that I originally posted. If the victim changed his account of the events after the fact, I apologize for not being everywhere all the time.And that's the way it is.

ParadeRest hangs out in the hospital gathering scare stories to post on the board? OR... is ParadeRest a lesson in why you shouldn't post every half-assed thing you hear about?their world is entirely different from ours, a whole different set of rules apply, fierce, natural, savage -- it's the only way they can survive in their world.
