$60??? Maybe for a brand spanking new plumbing snake. You know that old cliche. The moment you drive a new plumbing snake off the lot, it loses at least ten percent of its value. Anyways, seriously why bother the public over a stolen plumbing snake? Must have belonged to one of NYPD's own or something.

Is that the same burglar who has been hitting all those apartments around here? 4th and C is right in the center of the crime spree.

Plumber's snakes - are they the poisonous ones, or am I thinking of the rattling ones?

The weird part of that video is at https://youtu.be/qV-VrwxKL_Q?t=12 - when he sticks his hat into the wall. Is there like a time portal there?

WTF ? I've gone to them for much more serious crimes and they could give a shit less. I supposed it was a plumbers snake of someone friendly with the NYPD.

Because there have been numerous burglaries in the area and this guy has probably done more than one burglary. But it's good to see that you find fault in the NYPD taking a burglary irregardless of the value of the property seriously.
