Police said last month that they had no suspects in the April 11 vandalism that shattered the storefront window and glass door of Koh's Kids, at 311 Greenwich St. But store owner Grace Koh has her suspicions.

		"I think it was local kids and I don't think they did it for robbery," Koh said. "They did it for fun." Nothing was taken from the store, said Koh, who lives in the apartment building above the store. The paving stones used to smash the window were left behind. Koh discovered two stones on the sidewalk and one inside after she was alerted by her doorman and arrived on the scene about 3 a.m. "I think the first two stones must have bounced off," she said. Koh said she has grown familiar with the sometimes unruly teenagers who congregate nearby. "They used to hang out in front of the deli next door," she said. The corner deli, at Reade Street, closed in January, but the sidewalk outside still remains a popular spot for a group of neighborhood teens, Koh said.
About an hour before the incident, a group of more than a dozen teenagers, carrying "baseball bats and sticks and canes" were spotted three block away, at Church and Chambers streets, according to Mafa Edwards, a Duane Street resident who called the Trib the following morning to report the incident. Edwards said she spotted the teens at about 2 a.m. standing on all four corners of the intersection. She called 911. When police arrived, she said, the teens fled. An NYPD spokeswoman said no arrests were made. Though the scene may have appeared menacing, she explained, there was no victim and no crime being committed. Joe Bellomo, crime prevention officer for the 1st Precinct, said it's likely that if police had caught any of the teens, they would have only asked for the baseball bats and sent them home. He said no report was written up on the incident. A report was filed on the vandalism at Koh's Kids and the case remains open, he said. Koh said her store, which sells infant and toddler wear, had been robbed twice in the 14 years she's been in business. This was the first time, though, the store had been vandalized. "I didn't make anybody mad. I don't know why they would do this," she said. The vandalism occurred at the height of the store's busy season and the boarded window has substantially hurt her business, Koh said. The storefront window is a point of pride for Koh and a point of interest to many in the neighborhood. From origami pieces to fanciful seasonal displays, the window over the years has been an attraction for passersby, including some who just pop in to say how much they like the display, she said. "Everyone enjoys my window," she said. "I don't want to cover it up with ugly steel, but I may have to. That's where my conflict is now." "Today, I feel brave and want to stay with the window, just to say 'See, you can't scare me,'" she added. "But, I don't want it to happen again." As she mulled her decision and awaited an insurance settlement on the damage, Koh decorated the plywood that temporarily replaced her window with hand-drawn flowers and a simple sign. "Sorry for the inconvenience," it read. "Koh's Kids is open."
