A Boro Park resident fell victim to a massive burglary on Wednesday night, with a thief making off with a large amount of jewelry and cash. The break-in occurred in the 20th Avenue area, with the perpetrator entering through the home’s porch door, the Boro Park Scoop reported. There were people sleeping in the home at the time.
The victim told Shomrim he came home to find the master bedroom in disarray, with items moved around and valuables missing. Shomrim members quickly responded to the scene and reviewed surveillance footage, determining that the burglary took place approximately half an hour prior.
The suspect left behind crowbars and hammers, which are now being examined by investigators. Both the NYPD and Shomrim are actively searching for the suspect and working to identify any potential leads.
Sources tell YWN that the amount stolen was a staggering half a million in jewlery.

A half million $ in jewelry and no alarm system? For goodness sake if you have those kind of valuables in your possession get a safe and an alarm.
When you build a house like that, aren’t you, in essence, asking for trouble!
Time to chop off hands of such brazen burglars as happens in Singapore 🇸🇬 if we are really serious about not witnessing such horrendous callousness ever again
Think about how many poor families could’ve survived on that money wasted on Jewlery. Don’t give me the mantra that I don’t know how much tzedaka the guy gives, in reality I don’t know. But what I do know is that our sages shunned money wasted on materialism.

Very strange?? What rational person would even keep that amount of Jewelry and cash at home w/o a really heavy duty safe?? Even then, alarm systems can be bypassed by those who increasingly do these high-end thefts.
yeah who leaves a porch door open at night cmon they must have been really tired and heavy sleepers if they didn’t wake up from all the noise when he entered the house and it must have been an inside job if he even knew where the jewelry and the money were
Something just doesn’t add up.
How did this thug know that he will find this enermous amount of value of jewelry in this particular house ???? Did matters just pay well for him ???
Strange.

A yid lost a massive amount of money and the comments are just absolutely disgusting.
Do you know how much money this person gives to tzedakah?
How do you know that they don’t have an alarm system? Thee were people in the house and the man came in so maybe it wasn’t set. And even if there wasn’t an alarm, he’s allowed to have a big house if he can afford it, and you will always have more possessions or a nicer car or a bigger house than those people that make less than you.
