    This is y all stores, restaurants, grocery shops etc wherever, ppl put out Tzedaka boxes 4 certain Mosdos, organizations & helping the less fortunate need 2 lock up their their pushkaz 2 the counter or however, this will prevent theft, here is a prime example. This is the message 2 all places that have puskaz, have them locked up @ all times. It’s soo sad, Chai life line, helps children with R”L (Rachmana letzlan) Yeneh Machla & other physical issues, these children really need that $$, & how dispicable, disgusting, low down, dirty, sick, horrible, 2 Steal from these innocent poor children. Mamosh makes some1 want 2 cry, I hope the police catches this trash bag & makes him pay a fine that he can’t afford. Again 2 all places that leave tzedaka boxes out, every city wherever u r, lock them up !!! U notice in 770 all the pushkaz r locked & chained 2 the table. Take an ex ample my fellow yidden. Thank u

  • umm

    doesnt he realize there are cameras?
    but anyway if he resorts to stealing nickles and dimes I would just say poor guy and let it go.

    First of all, he looked very nicely dressed so I doubt he was starving and second, “nickles and dimes” add up but much more important : It is forbidden & a crime to steal so how can you have rachmanus ? We are warned not to be kind when we should be cruel !

  • Hmm

    I honestly wouldn’t put too much thought into this. Stealing is very wrong, but I’ll give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say that he stole it because he needed it. I can’t imagine many people stealing a charity box unless they needed to.
    If he didn’t need it, then by all means, charges should be pressed.

    • Srsly?

      What kind of nonsense is this? I need $$ for my kids tuition, so according to your logic I get rob a bank.

      I mean, I *really* need it! You let?

    1st of all u don’t know how much money is in there, 2nd there could b lots of quarters & even singles fives & tens, but anyway bec there r so many tzedaka boxes that r put out all over, everything gets combined 2 help those sick children, so yes it all counts & it is a big deal, & once he is arrested this video should b shown before the judge in the city court of law & he should do time 4 doing the crime, every single dime nickel helps those sick children, how can u say it’s only nickels & dimes, all the pushkaz add up. Thank u

    B”H there’s so little crime in Crown Heights that we have the time and space to talk about petty theft in Florough Bark, or was it Batflush.

    “If he didn’t need it, then by all means, charges should be pressed”, then acc 2 u, we should only have him arrested & do time, if he didn’t need the money, but if he needed the money then, we should let it go ? That is what ur saying !! It doesn’t matter if he yes needed the money or if he No, didn’t need the money, he should b arrested & I agree with #7, that this video b showed in the Bklyn court before a judge & he should do the time. The ppint is, Comment #5 is saying only if he didn’t need the money should charges be pressed, I’m saying it don’t matter u steal, whether u need it or not, “U do the crime, u do the time, we don’t let ppl get away with theft.
