Police released the descriptions and video below:

Incident #3:

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the males is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

I’d bet that they are the same people who are entering the homes in the 80’s through the rooftops and back doors. Doesn’t take much to put that together.

Inside job a worker that knew where they keep the cash.
Or a delivery guy

I think its a strong possibility. I worked in restaurants for years and there isn’t just 2 or 3 grand in cash lying around somewhere for the taking. Seems strange that they knew where to find cash like that

I thought the cable modem IDs (well, MAC numbers and other keys) were checked by the cable company when they’re attached to the line, so anything that’s been reported stolen or otherwise questionable is useless.
Anyone know if this is the case? Thanks

No. you can still use them – MAC cannot really be blocked by ISP even if it known to be stolen. OTOH – street value is close to 0. why steal?

I’m an IT guy and it seems strange to me they would take the modems. I mean they are a $100 item brand new at best. Whats the street value on something like that? $30 bucks… maybe? Seems silly. Maybe I’m naive.

I’m guessing the modem may have some connection to video cameras, motion sensors, or other security devices. So much is connected through wi-fi these days.

The modems were probably taken in order to disconnect any security camera FEED. As a native and transplanted NEW YORKER the city is once again a wretched heap and cesspool of humanity. As long as criminals are the only ones with guns and the NYPD could care less IMHO about robberies NY will continue to be rated alongside Detroit.
