Alleged Busy Chef Con Man Finds Apartment Trashed

080708bzchef.jpgDan Kaufman, the man accused of stealing customers’ credit card info at several Brooklyn Heights eateries, now knows what it feels like to be on the wrong end of crime. According to the Brooklyn Paper, Kaufman returned home to find the locks changed at his apartment on Pierrepont Street. When a locksmith finally came and opened the door, he discovered that the place had been “ransacked.” The article doesn’t definitively say who’s responsible, but one possible suspect is Alan Young, Kaufman’s estranged business partner at the now-closed restaurants; Young just so happens to own the apartment that Kaufman rents. Also, Kaufman’s just a patsy – his lawyer says it was Young stealing the credit card info all along!

Kaufman chose not to file a police report, his lawyer added.

Huh?

Or he did it himself a la the professor who hung a noose on her own office door.

If Kaufman was having troubles with Young, why didn't he move out? Changing the locks is so 101 during a dispute!

#2: Was it ever proven that she was responsible for hanging the noose herself?
