"The incident happened just before noon on Oct. 20, when the crook entered the Lafayette St. store and tricked the cashier into thinking he had paid for the merchandise, police said. After his credit card was declined, the crook entered prompts into the terminal, manually overriding the system without the employee's knowledge, according to police. The suspect made off with roughly $9,710 worth of baseball and Pokemon cards, cops said."
"The store, CardVault by Tom Brady, opened only two weeks before the robbery. It specializes in trading cards and high-end sports memorabilia, and features a collector's lounge where fans can rip packs and connect over the hobby, according to a press release on the opening. Former star football quarterback Brady owns a 50 percent stake in the company, which also sports outlets in East Hampton and the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, N.J., among other locations."
