The 41-year-old victim’s car was parked in front of the Gerard Carter Community Center on Broad Street near Tompkins Avenue when the thief broke in and stole his wallet, which contained a bank debit card, at around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 7, police said.

The man was wearing a multicolored Nike hoodie.
Queens
A bullet crashed through a little girl’s bedroom window at her family’s Long Island City apartment Friday night, according to authorities.
The child was in her room at the Queensbridge Houses on Vernon Boulevard at around 8:30 p.m. when the family heard two gunshots outside followed by the sound of breaking glass.
The girl’s 38-year-old mother noticed a hole in the window, along with some broken glass and a bullet fragment on the floor. She called the cops.
Police are investigating.
Manhattan
Police are looking for three pickpockets who stole the wallets of at least two shoppers in Midtown and Soho last month, according to authorities.
In the first incident, the team of two women and one man entered the Zara clothing store on Broadway near Broome Street and zeroed in on their victim at around 7:40 p.m. on Oct. 14.
The man and one of the women (inset) then distracted the 19-year-old victim while the second woman stole her wallet from her purse, getting away with cash, credit cards and other personal property.
In the second incident, the thieves walked into the Victoria’s Secret store on Broadway at West 35th Street and pulled the same stunt on a 40-year-old woman around 10 p.m. on Oct. 26.
A short time later, they were spotted walking into the Gucci store on West 34th Street, where they used that woman’s credit cards to make more than $2,000 worth of purchases.
The Bronx
Police have released a photo of the man suspected of killing his estranged wife at her Co-Op City apartment over the weekend.
Andre Curtis (inset), 36, is being sought by cops for fatally stabbing Sophia Lamb, 44, in the Baychester Avenue home at around 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, sources said.
Lamb argued with her husband Friday night before kicking him out of their home, relatives told The Post.
Police believe that Curtis broke into the home on Saturday and killed Lamb before her mother discovered the body on the living-room floor, according to police.
Curtis is about 5-foot-7 and 170 pounds.

The worker opened the register and handed over more than $3,300 in cash.
The bandit also stole three cellphones and a bottle of Hennessy cognac before fleeing the store.
He is described as being around 5-foot-9 and was last seen wearing a black and gray jacket, blue jeans and a black and white winter hat.
