Over the course of the last few days a number of cars have been broken into, some burglarized while others were vandalized as well. The few reasons cars get broken into are for the loose valuables, which is the most common occurrence, or for hardware in the car such as radios, airbags, navigation systems and computers.

Back quite a number of years ago car manufacturers made the engine computer removable, same as a radio face plate, for that computer was of great value and was being stolen often. Today a set of airbags run around $2000 plus the damage done when they get ripped out of the cars dash. The cars seem specifically targeted, those models include the popular Honda Accord and Pilot, Nissan Altima and Maxima.

Shliach: I feel safer in Vietnam than in 770

Shturem.net – Yair Borochov

The brutal pogrom that took place Sunday night in 770 after the Shluchim banquet in N.J. caused severe injuries to many of the people who happened to be at the site at the time. One of those whose leg was broken as a result of the melee was the new shaliach in Vietnam, Rabbi Menachem M. Hart-man.

Rabbi Hart-man was rushed to the hospital immediately where his leg was placed in a cast and now he walks on crutches. All this, a day before he is scheduled to return to Vietnam.

In an exclusive interview with Shturem.net he related what had transpired that night:
