In a bit of nifty metatext to her Hunt column from yesterday's NYT, Joyce Cohen points us to the audacious theft of lobby chairs from 140 East 40th Street. Building resident Chris Mante has posted the security tape on YouTube in hopes of vigilante justice: "I was hoping someone who knows him and is not a particular fan, an ex-girlfriend or something, would blow the whistle on him."
The video, meantime, earns an instant Curbed Hall of Fame nomination.
