Speaking As Someone Who Makes The Most Of His Balaclava . . .

Uh, I don’t think even Peter “All-You-Can-Eat Buffet” Braunstein would do something this dumb. Still, it’s funny:

Has the Ninja Burglar branched out into fashion consulting?

Probably not, but someone calling himself the “Ninja Thief” has popped up on Amazon.com to post a product review for a ninja-style “China Silk Black Balaclava.”

“It prevents sweat and hairs from being left at the scene so the police are unlikely to get a DNA print, and makes it impossible for anyone to ID you,” the rave review reads. “The perfect accessory for the professional thief. I’ve used it on over 20 thefts and haven’t got caught yet.”

The Ninja Burglar, who has 19 notches on his black belt dating to last May, mostly in Todt Hill and Grymes Hill, has been lying low since the first week of January, when cops say he made off with $225,000 in diamonds and jewelry from a house on Melhorn Road.

But his legend is rife on the Internet.

“Maybe it’s just somebody playing a game,” said a police source about the Jan. 21 post.

Still, the cops will check it out, the source said.

Midland Beach resident Gloria Barral, who spotted the review while she was shopping for vitamins for her dog and looking at silk garments, is a little more optimistic.

“I don’t know. Sometimes they get cocky,” Mrs. Barral said. “It’s very strange. I look for the review, and then this just hits me in the eye.

“You never know,” she added. “This is how crimes get solved, when you least expect it.”
