lol nobody is going to steal your camera, don't worry.
The biggest response you'll get is a security guy coming out the building and asking you to move out, but that depends on the building, and how long you take to shoot.
But what you do is just cross the street and take pictures on the other sidewalk.
Now the MTA might piss you off on the subway. I think it's illegal, but who will stop you for taking out your point and shoot out for a few shots? If you have bulky equipment and are setting up your tripod, then yes, you'll probably get somebody to ask you to clear off, but that would be if there were cops around and on the big stations.
Eventually if you start trying to peek into construction sites you might get a few frowns, but nothing serious. If you try and sneak inside, then you might be in a bit more trouble.
I am no legal expert, but I doubt anyone can take that camera away from you or make you delete your pictures if you stay on the sidewalk and mind your business.
Get inside a building, inside the subway system, or on a bridge, that's when you might expect someone asking you to scram, but there would be signs prohibiting photography to warn you anyway.
