[Updated] Report: Man arrested for street sign bike theft



The Post had a follow-up today on our item about the man who stole a bicycle on 13th and A by climbing up on a table and removing a no parking sign from its metal post ... Anyway! According to the Post, the NYPD arrested 51-year-old Haram Guzman ... and charged him with petit larceny and possession of burglary tools. Witnesses picked him out of a lineup.

According to the headline, the East Village was "stunned by brazen do-badder."

Were you stunned?

Updated:

WABC 7 had a report on this as well tonight...

    More despondent about humanity than stunned. One should not be surprised, I suppose; most people have the conscience of piranhas.

    I'm guessing more than remarkable detective work, NYPD has dealt with this guy before and some cop looked and at they guy and immediately knew him. Good enough for me.
