Cops have swooped down on the law-abiding couple's modest Marine Park home at least 50 times in the last eight years hunting bad guys - only to learn they were chasing a bad address.
They've come looking for murder and robbery suspects. Once, cops came hunting for one of their own - an NYPD officer accused of raping his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
In each case, NYPD officers from commands ranging from the north Bronx to Staten Island somehow confused the Martins' two-story home with the hideout of a suspect or key witness - a different person nearly every time.
"I'm really worried," Rose Martin, 82, said. "How could so many people get my address and how could cops be coming from so many different precincts?"
The Martins have documented the unending police pop-ins - and have amassed a sizable collection of cops' business cards.

...Perhaps the cops don't tell the Martins that those cops just uses that adress as the most convenient adress to firsttime train their Rookies, because when they would tell- the trainng-moment wouldn't be so effective......?
