Burglar Robs Queens Home Then Returns To Steal Owner's Car: NYPD

OZONE PARK, QUEENS -- A burglar who broke into a woman's Ozone Park home Friday wasn't happy with his haul of stolen goods and car keys - so he came back the next day to finish the job, police said.

The thief returned less than twelve hours later to steal the same 56-year-old woman's grey Dodge Caliber, parked outside her home on 107 Avenue and 90 Street, cops said.

The man used the car keys he stole from her house when he broke in through an unlocked basement door in the back at around 10:30 a.m. the day prior, authorities said. He also made off with the woman's electronics and a checkbook.

After the thief was caught on tape using the keys to get into the woman's car at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, he drove it north on 90 Street, police said. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
