If you can't wait another day for "Ocean's 13" then check this out. This past July some guy weaseled his way into the lobby of my building and stole two leather chairs...what he didn't know was that our security camera caught the whole thing! Luckily a tenant in my building captured the footage, edited it into a silent film and uploaded it to You Tube. You can check out "The Great Chair Heist (Director's Cut)" here.

Now what's missing from this picture...hmmmm...I know, the entire City of New York knowing about it! Enter "NY Times" real estate writer Joyce Cohen. She spread word of this video to Real Estate blog curbed.com, which then transforms into a story in Monday's "NY Post," which then becomes a story on NYC local TV news station NY 1 and now has landed the creator of the video an interview on NYC's CBS affiliate TV station. At this point all I want to know is if I can play myself in the made for TV movie.

But anyway, watch this video and help us catch this slime bag.

I think this guy is a dyslectic atheist. Instead of giving to charity he took chairity!
