Bloomberg's Car Stolen, Aide Beaten By Thieves
(AP) NEW YORK A personal employee of Mayor Michael Bloomberg was beaten by thieves who then carjacked the billionaire's car Wednesday morning in New Jersey, authorities said.
The employee was driving the 2001 Lexus in Hackensack, N.J., on an errand for the mayor shortly before 9 a.m. when he was approached by a woman who came to the window to ask for money, police said. As he declined and began to roll up the window, a man got into the passenger seat and punched him in the face.
"They force him out and take off," said Hackensack police Capt. Frank Lomia.
The car was found about two hours later, abandoned on the side of the road in Fair Lawn, N.J. Police were looking for the two suspects.
Bloomberg's employee was not seriously injured and his name was not released. He is one of many staffers who take care of Bloomberg's personal business and his homes, including his townhouse in Manhattan and country house in upstate New York.
"we have the best hookers in the world in NYC"
OK...I'll take your word on that ... :)
"Now, that's what I'm talking about... You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing." -- Lamar Thomas
Hackensack: Go for jury duty, stay for the car jackings!
Let us all celebrate the birth of a new conservative! I wonder if Bloomie (D-Momser-N.Y.) will get the message.
if it happened in Baltimore the police would have down graded the crime to say some one borred the car and the driver fell and hurt his head
The story doesn't wash...Wonder if the aide was going to meet McGreevey..
But they got the Sullivan Act to protect them!
It happened in Hackensack not NYC
In the sleeepy little drinking village (with a fishing problem) in which I live, we can get away with it all the time. Good thing for , huh?
You got a problem with that? (grin)
Maybe he thought she was a hooker.
You know that Lexus had electric door locks.
Where you are, I'm sure it's okay. (I say that under the assumption you don't live wherever Bloomberg's Lexus got jacked.)
Sheer, exquisite, SCHADENFREUDE!
The arch gun grabber staffer has been mugged and car jacked.
Betcha he is now a conservative. ;-)
"Too bad they didn't steal Bloomberg."
The reason it hasn't happened is that no fence would buy one of those things. Ransom, perhaps. But that assumes somebody wants him enough to part with actual money.
Oops! My mistake. They could use taxpayer money. Better brace for a rash of kidnappings. Or car jackings. Or just plain muggings. Life is H*ll in the BIG Sh*ty.
This is kinda reminds me of a movie years ago with Walter Mathau and his partners rob a bank. A big stash of loot which makes his partners happy. But Walter realizes that the bank was a syndicate money laundering spot and they are in big trouble.
Stealing Hizoner's car has to be a bone headed move by some car jacker. Be curious to see how long before they are caught cause I can guess the mayor will push the Jersey police to catch these dudes!
