East 3rd Street between Avenue A and Avenue B …
Also, a question…
Yes.
The Hole on the Roof Gang, perhaps?
Someone knocked off the Popular Community Bank on Delancey Street near Essex Street.

From the Post:
Daring thieves sawed a gaping hole in the roof of a bank on the Lower East Side on the Fourth of July — as rooftop revelers nearby were distracted by the fireworks show on the East River, police sources and witnesses said.
The Moon and Mars last night from 2nd Avenue

Felton Davis was set up at East Third Street and Second Avenue last night for the conjunction of the Moon and Mars.
And just one astrophotographer, Kristan Enos, was able to get the Moon and Mars into a single shot… (you can just make out Mars at the top of the image…)

See the conjunction of the Moon and Mars from the East Village tonight
[Photo by Felton Davis from June 6]
Local astronomy buff Felton Davis passed along the following …
If it stays clear I will set up at my usual location of East 3rd Street and 2nd Avenue at 8 tonight for the conjunction of the Moon and Mars. I'll try to bring an eyepiece that allows us to see both of them in one view.
The fireworks of the East Village from July 4
James and Karla Murray shared a few photos of the unofficial July 4 firework displays around the East Village from last night… (seemed better than the real thing at times!)
And can we still get in on that $1,000 reward?
Reader report: Avoid couple with stroller asking for milk money for the baby
An EVG reader shared the following with us from yesterday …
I've been approached by this young African-American couple several times in the past year. They are pushing a stroller with a one-to-two-year-old child. They always look sullen and ask for "money for milk for the baby." I always reply "Sorry." Today, when I politely declined, the woman came after me, followed me into a store on 2nd Ave & 4th St. threatening that she would "...knock my fucking head off the next time she sees me." They are usually walking up 2nd Avenue. The police were called. I don't know if the police were able to catch up with them.
This on the heels of the return of the "my kids are in the car and I'm out of gas" scam guy.
Previously on EV Grieve:
East Village grifter alert: Beware the broken vodka-bottle scam!
East Village grifter alert: Beware the man with the sob story who offers you a wedding ring as collateral

Reader report: 'my kids are in the car and I'm out of gas' scam guy back in action
Repercussions from saying 'I see you standing there' all day long
We've told this to Zoltar a thousand times. You can't pester people all day long. Play it cool, you know.
EVG contributor Derek Berg noted this tense, 90-second stare down outside Gem Spa on Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place this morning.
Perhaps there is some history between these two. Keep an eye out…
Speaking of 'I see you standing there' …
Just noting the arrival of two new NYPD surveillance cameras … on East Seventh Street and Avenue A … and East Seventh Street and Avenue B …
Workers installed the one on Seventh and B on June 26.
So please be mindful — we hear that these cameras really do add 10 pounds.
