Trendy Brooklyn vintage shop hit by shoplifters fights back with art installation of thieves’ photos

They’ve been framed!

A hip vintage market in Brooklyn has been struck by thieves so many times in recent months, owners hung an artsy collage depicting dozens of crooks caught on camera.

The Little Brooklyn Market — which sells jewelry, sunglasses and clothes in Williamsburg — has been slammed by a wave of post-pandemic petty crime at a rate of four to six shoplifters a month, its co-owner Jacqueline Ryu told The Post.

To combat the crooks — many of whom are bold repeat offenders — workers posted surveillance photos of 16 alleged thieves in a gallery worthy display framed by a door painted with bright swirling designs.
