Description

I was just having a snack at Cesar and Romeo's (around 3:30) with my children when I was approached by a man who asked me "how much I would give" for the yellow & black children's strider bike that he was carrying. He left quickly when I said I didn't need it, he turned down Linden Street. Based on the way he was carrying the bike and the strangeness of the question, I thought he probably stole it.

About 20 minutes later, we encountered him again on Lawrence Street (no bike in sight), taking mail from mailboxes in the 120-130ish block. He was ripping things open and throwing them down as he walked; there was no trying to hide his activities from the numerous pedestrians on the street.

Description: Tall (6ft-ish), slim, black man with close cropped hair, wearing a black t-shirt, khaki pants and white sneakers with black detailing.
