NYC freshman stole, sold roomie’s luxe handbags, shoes: Lawsuit

This NYU freshman was allegedly earning a degree in grand larceny.

A first-year political science major ripped off roughly $50,000 worth of her roommate’s pricey possessions, including luxe labels such as Gucci, Chanel and Bvulgari — and then hawking them online for a quick buck, according to a lawsuit.

Aurora Agapov’s Russian mining magnate father Andre — who has a net worth of about $75 million as the head of the Vancouver-based Rusoro Mining, which counts Russian President Vladimir Putin associate Dmitry Ushakov on its board — realized some of her belongings were missing last month as she completed her freshman year, she said in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.

Agapov, 19, became suspicious of her roommate Fung after finding a receipt in Old Tappan, New Jersey girl’s pocket book from consignment retailer The Real Real that listed Agapov’s missing items, according to court papers.

“My heart dropped,” said Agapov, an arts major who is originally from London.

The company has an app and a Soho outlet on Wooster Street.

The two roomies had been “quite good friends” before she discovered her pal was allegedly robbing her blind, Agapov told The Post.

“We spoke pretty much every day. I’d say we didn’t really have any falling outs or anything,” she said. “If anything our relationship got better towards the second semester.”

When she realized the extent of the theft, Agapov told Fung to spend the night elsewhere and moved her own stuff out of their room at Founders Hall on East 12th Street.

“I didn’t sleep that night,” she said. “My mother gifted me those things. They mean a lot to me.” 

But Kaitlyn Fung wasn’t even a good saleswoman, massively undervaluing the stolen goods she did manage to unload, contends the victim.

Fung, 18, is accused of selling Agapov’s Bvlgari necklace — worth $13,000 — for a measly $2,485, and a Chanel Strauss Bracelet valued at $2,000 for a pittance of $175, Agopov said in court papers.

Other stolen items were listed for sale but had yet to be purchased by the time Agapov realized what was going on, including a Solange Azagury 18K Ruby Ring valued at $23,765; a Celine Nanno tote worth $3,300; and a Chanel pursue worth $4,000, she said in the legal filing.

Fung also allegedly stole Agapov’s Gucci handbag and a Celine handbag, but had the items returned to her, Agapov alleged in the litigation.

She was arrested May 2 on a third-degree grand larceny charge and released. The criminal case is pending.

When Agapov went to the brick and mortar outpost of The Real Real to get her stuff back, a worker told her Fung’s mom had appeared days earlier to collect the items, she said in court papers.

She claims Fung stole and sold $20,000 worth of her stuff, and that the remaining items are worth $31,000.

Fung did not return messages seeking comment.

NYU said it was prohibited by law from revealing disciplinary actions against individual students, but spokesman John Beckman called stealing from a roommate “a lousy thing to do, and a rarity among the 12,000 students we have in student housing,” adding consequences typically include suspension.

The Real Real said it requires consigners to confirm they have the right to sell and that items aren’t stolen.

“If we receive any information that items might be stolen, we act fast by removing them from the site and starting an investigation,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
