An alleged thief stole about $6,700 and two tablets from an Astoria cocktail bar and restaurant earlier this month.
The unidentified man smashed in the front window of The Social, located at 37-06 30th Ave., at 6:30 a.m. on Feb. 8. He entered the restaurant and broke into the office once inside, police said.
There he grabbed the cash and tablets and fled on 30th Avenue towards Steinway Street, police said.
Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this individual is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Seriously!! (?) Not justifying the robbery but why on earth did the bar owner have that much cash laying around after closing hours instead of depositing the money at his bank!! (?)
