Sources say the mugger took off with Bacon's cell at 10:50 a.m. Thursday at the B, D and E station at 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue. A spokesman for the actor, who is currently touring with his band The Bacon Brothers, could not confirm whose numbers were stored in the Blackberry. It is likely, however, that the numbers for Bacon's wife, 'The Closer' star Kyra Sedgwick, are now available to the thief.
NYC Transit officials said no subway personnel were alerted to the crime, although sources said Bacon did call police. NYPD officials could not confirm that a report had been filed.
