TRIBECA — A thief stole $2,680 worth of items — including a $300 Medela breast pump — from a man who'd parked his van in TriBeCa last week, police said.

The victim, a 34-year-old man from Wilmington, Del., told police he locked his 2004 Chrysler van when he parked it at Church Street and Park Place about 9 a.m. Oct. 17.

But when he returned to the van about 5:30 p.m., the man found many items missing, including the breast pump, a $900 Dell laptop, a $250 Nikon camera, a $200 iPod Nano, a $100 electric toothbrush and more, police said.

The van did not have any visible damage, police said. It was not clear why the man had the goods with him.
