Tires Stolen Off Another Car in Crown Heights

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — For the second time in a week tires were stolen off a parked car in the neighborhood.

The incident took place sometime over Friday night on Sterling Street, just a block away from the 71st Precinct, where all four tires and rims were stolen off an Infinity sport coupe, the same make and model as the last such theft.

A police report was filed.

  • No joke

    I don’t see as much jokes about this as last time.
    Maybe this is not so funny any more?
    Maybe your car or your neighbors is next?

  • resident

    it seems that the security in this community keeps getting worse and worse. maybe not. we have hope in hashim,

  • this is scary

    TIRES?? every1 watch your windows and door handles and shoot put ur shoes in side they may be coming after ur shoe laces!!!
    ~~~~D

  • obvious

    if they are after a specific car, i say, rent another such car, and wait around for the next theft attempt – catching them red handed.

    should I be a cop – or is this just obvious?

  • Ariyeh Leib Segall

    A good question pops into my mind…
    Why aren’t the insurance agents in our neighborhood providing those they insure with the proper advise as to how to secure their cars…
    Information on those models that are experiencing an upsurge in thefts are readily available to those who know and care to inform those that may be affected..
    It’s high time to care for those in our community !!!!
    Why are these problems mentioned in 770 when all of anash are gathered ?
    It seems that those in the know don’t seem to care about anyone else but themselves !!!
    This attitude has to change !!!!

  • Owner of the other car

    Wow, so not funny…

    Thank G-d I’m back home now, 73 degrees, with a set of wheels that are 2 days newer than my car. Thank you allstate insurance.

    Someone please remind me why people live in Brooklyn, please?

    Try Florida or Texas, no snow, less crime, and with the money from selling your $500,000 house in CH you can use half to start a business and the other half to buy a beautiful apartment in a decent neighborhood where your wife won’t be afraid to walk out at night, or you of the police mafia giving you tickets by day.

    Can you imagine a world where you don’t have to move your car 4 times a week (street cleaning) or pay $8 to go over a bridge?

    Yes, you will miss 770, as I do, but you can always go back and visit.

    Classic case of shortsightedness. What happens when your kids go to a much lesser school out wherever you are and grow up less frum? Will it have been worth it?

  • Old Crown Heightser

    BH

    Brings back memories, as a bochur in oholei Torah zal some years back I remember a bochur by the name of Yanky Prager who would take off and/or change tires from parked cars along the streets of Crown heights, I would hate to find out one day that this guy is still up-to his old meshugaas, we moved out of CH long time ago would love to hear feed back on this above mentioned individual.

    Recent Arrival,
    “What happens when your kids go to a much lesser school out wherever you are and grow up less frum? Will it have been worth it?”

    You actually think people in C.H are more frum?That’s quite krum!
    I see that you are brand new

  • ME

    Kids who go to school in or out of Crown Heights, whichever one it may be, i.e. boys or girls; living in the Rebbe’s daled amos, etc, can also go off the derech….I don’t know if moving to CH is the answer to that. You will also find that crime is everywhere, you just don’t hear about it as much out of town as you are not there, you are mainly based in CH!

  • tipshim

    Don’t u get it, the other owner who got his tires stolen, just got his replaced, with those tires. It’s like playing musical tires. Don’t you think It’s cute.

  • Moved out

    That is some joke to talk about how children will be raised outside of CH. I moved for two reason, one I wanted to not have to worry that my tires would be stolen off my cars and the main reason, I wanted to raise my children without the thought that where I lived was good enough, look around, take a walk in any alleyway on Friday night, see the “mushkies and the Mendys” walking around together with their cell phones and tell me that moving out is where your children will be less frum! What a joke!

  • quite right #13

    …or better educated-ha! They aren’t even nicer, generally. So much Torah learning, and I see very little spirituality. Looks like the online learners have better midos, and I hope they learn how to be very decent people–with good manners and sincere kindness in their hearts.

    Dear Lubbies (Lub. Yuppies) and Whoozies: Save yourself money, look bitul, and rent a wreck. It also gets you from point A to point B.
    But I understand: you grew up with nothing, got your hands on a few bucks, and there is a shidduch crisis.

  • Albany Street Bochur

    Chaim: CH is not exactly Boro Park, what with our enormous tznius problem among women and the huge amount of off the Chassidishe derech kids.

    Owner of Other Car: I’ve been in CH three years and know what you are saying and may join you soon.

    I moved here three years ago to be near 770 and the Ohel and miss life with parking, security, and money enough for rent AND groceries. My future childen will not be raised here, I want them to be safe. We will just have to remember how the Rebbe is in every Chabad house, not just on Eastern Parkway.

  • chanina

    it looks like paul the ganif huebner and his soninlaw ephrayim the ganif setton are at it again

  • POLICE PRIORITIES ?

    Had this same car been double parked for as long as it took to remove the tires you can be assured that it would have received a ticket for double parking. It is high time to make the Police Department aware that crime fighting should be their top priority rather than meeting ticket quotas.
    As for those promoting moving out of the neighberhood , I say let them go and lose the PRIVILEGE of living in the Rebbes schcuna “ Kaan Zivah Hashem Es Habrocha”

  • To Chaim

    whether you like it or not the level of chassidishkeit on average is higher here than anywhere else, except maybe Montreal. Yes you see bums, but the bums in other places are not even seen as they are with the goyim already. The maale (virtue) of ch, is that even if you are a bum you still hang out in ch

  • M Shner

    This Is PURE LOSHON HORRAH!! To accuse fellow yidden of doing this only hastens the coming of Moshiach

  • Youre kidding, right?

    To #23.

    And that’s why in CH you see half the bochurim with shaven or trimmed beards and the females looking like sluts.

  • Time?

    Maybe the time has come. Why did the rebbe move from Eurpoe?

    For safety and opportunity. Maybe it’s time again to resettle in a place that is safer and more accomadating.

  • CHer

    NYPD and the 71st dont consider this a crime, and will not get adequate attention to reporting

  • you think this is bad

    I live by utica the anti semitezam is so bad im skerd to walk to shcool i mite git mugd ,shot or beat up and somtime i see dead bodes layin ther and the cops dont cher ether sow you lucy its your car and not YOU

  • to number 23

    I laughed out loud at your comment. level of chassidishkeit is highest here, except maybe Montreal?? Have you ever BEEN to Montreal?
    Sorry that was too funny.

    Take a look at the small communities and you’ll see the level of chassidishkeit is strongest in the small out of town areas where children actually grow up with quality of life and hence real values.
    monsey, chicago, pittsburgh, etc..

  • to #11

    hahaHAHAHA..good joke. have you seen what the schools there have been doing to so many kids? they are over cramped, the teachers aren’t well qualified, and the staff is OLD..im sorry but living in CH and i will still not send my kids to school here!

  • ch is not the same

    it’s so sad but ch is not what it used to be..people would not be acting and dressing how they do now if the rebbe was alive..people disrespect the place and its hard to look at as a place of shcunah nowadays..
    i feel like i can raise my kids anywhere and they can turn out just as great..it’s all about the home..

    i agree..TEXAS OR FLORIDA!!!!!

  • live in CH & loving it!

    To all of you above. I lived out of town and now live in CH. yes, I had a nicer home outside of New York and could sleep with my doors unlocked and my car in my driveway unlocked, and yes, the tznius in CH is atrocious but I still would not trade living elsewhere over crown heights! and I don’t miss my truly beautiful house from out of town for a fraction of a second. If I could move it to CH I would, but I wouldn’t trade CH for the midbar my beutiful home was in. Yes, I hate the alternate side business as much as the next guy, and hate the so called cops whose job is nothing more than giving tickets but would still not trade it for the good CH has to offer that you can’t get anywhere else in the world, including Israel. Even though I had my car broken into several times, my airbag stolen (and was as angry as heck) but that’s all because the one above ordained it!!! I have a friend that lives in the lovely Los Angeles, where the weather is perfect etc. and three weeks ago, after their Friday night meal they went to walk their guest home, and were gone for 15 minutes, and came back home to find their house had been robbed of everything of value! Another friend in Melbourne Australlia was robbed 3 times in broad daylight! If something is meant to happen it will, and if it’s not, IT WON’T! It don’t matter where you live!!!!!

  • happy

    mouved out of CH

    I moved a out from CH many years ago, and,BH, the kids did very well We droved them to Lub chedorim, and then they went to different yeshivos like OT, Los Angeles,and Seminaries, etc, and,BH, did very well
    we don’t have swartzes, robbers, machlokes BD, MACLOKES vaad, MAClokes shomrim ,Yechi not Yechi, maclokes 770. etc
    If our house would be in CH, it would be a 2 million dollar
    we go to CH anytime we want

  • Don-t understand

    I don’t understand, why didnt they just take the whole car? It sure looks from the pics they could have.

    To 11. Recent Arrival

    Wow! Your comment is really funny, thinking that living in CH guarantees your kids will grow up in the straight and narrow path, and shows you really do walk in the street looking down and saying tanya b’al pe, since you clearly don’t know what goes on in CH, specially with our dear youth.

    Many other comments responded to your silly statement, so no need to be redundant, just would like to add a few points:

    #1: Even an article about wheels being stolen ends up with comments about tznius problem, machlokes, kids frying out, and the shidduch crises.

    #2 The tznius issue that all frumies are so horrified about, and the youth doing what they do is not the DISEASE itself but the symptom.

    The youth and others in Anash look around at people who should be leaders in our community and see them fighting over silly things, titles and kavod, and decide to look elsewhere for honesty.

    If you want to help with this issue, add more light, inspire people by being happy and a good example, not by being the znius police of CH. Act like shluchim everywhere else in the world act.

    To # 33 you started to say how you moved into CH and love it, but failed to mention anything, but how bad it is. So thanks

    Finally, give me back my wheels!

    Yours truly,

    Owner of the other car that got the wheels borrowed:

    PS: Did I mention how much I hate NYPD and street cleaning? Is that why our founding fathers fought a revolutionary war? So we can get fined $115 for double parking while street cleaning and having a cowboy police with ticket quotas roaming around? Is that what the greatest city in the world is about?

  • Not Laughable

    My kids learned things once we moved to Crown Heights they would have NEVER been exposed to in the community we moved from. My kids now doubt the holiness of Lubavitch…how can parents act like this? how can Rabbi’s and teachers behave like this?…How can kids who are supposed to be our princes and princess act like this? Is this really the way we serve Hashem?

  • Levi

    Lets not get carried away. CH isnt all bad, but there is a crime problem. We need to get that sorted; that means lobbying the city for a closer precinct and demanding whats due us as ratepayers instead of being scared of the big, bad goyim and applauding them every time they look our way. Once we get on top of crime, things will start to look rosier. And all the other problems have solutions too.
