All across Crown Heights cars have had their windows smashed, in some cases nothing was even taken, there were 2 incidents on Lincoln Pl. where a minivan and car were broken into, another incident on Empire and Kingston where a minivan had it window smashed, on Union and New York a car was broken into.
On E. New York & Kingston a car had more then $4,500 in damages done to it when a thief stole the pair of headlights out of it, these headlights employ a new technology the Xenon Bulbs, and those get peddled on the street for all of $150!
At the Precinct Council Meeting held this past Thursday this issue was been raised by a Shomrim member to which the Commanding Officer Inspector Vega replied that there has been an increase and he reported that the Police have recently apprehended a black man who has admitted to 28 counts of Auto Larceny, and he added that in no way dose he think that all of break-ins are attributed to one person, but expressed hope to stop this madness.
So please take extra care not to leave anything in your car, and if you see anyone looking into cars in a suspicious way, don’t hesitate to call Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7

Where are our Vaad Hakahal members. Telling us how great the police are at a murder funeral?
Making sure to get their pictures taken with all sorts of police officials?
Making sure we get more tickets?
Why don’t they finally do something about the burning issues in our communnity like crime?

I don’t have a vehicle now but I was once broken into. Two Blacks told me a story about what Blacks did to Black thieves in Jamaica; the victim shot one thief in the head, killing him, and just missed the other. "A thief is a thief," they said. "Black or White it doesn’t matter." If any Blacks caught the perpetrator they’d kill him here in Crown Heights. We Jews are too soft.
The lousy thief/vandal was probably arrested 500 times previously.
I don’t blame the cops, I blame the liberal, care-nothing lawmakers. The ‘father’ aren’t protecting us.
Perhaps dina de malchusa dina doesn’t apply here. Jews, tell your bosses to pay you off the books a week or two and fix the unfortunate problems with your tax money!
It’s the same morons in charge as at the time of the ’91 Pogrom. The city, state and fed. gov’t couldn’t do anything to protect it’s tax-paying citizens. And this was 3 full days after a murder! What, perhaps there would be more murders? They give a hoot, they have hearts? Christian society? Ha! Normal society? This society needs admission into a mental hospital. Look at an admissions form for a mental hospital — we fill the bill very well!
A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Chanina gets to see the Police Commissioner but he still can’t stop the ticketing and the crime. Another photo op, boppity bopp!

I agree with ‘girl’ – the 4th comment – 100%. People always use this as an opportunity to bash CH forgetting about all the good things that go on here. Hey – you can always go to England and get stabbed for being a Jew, go to France and be kidnapped and tortuted, or Israel and get blown up. No thanks – I’d prefer to stay here and take the little bit of bad with the mounds and mounds of good. Long live CH!
When will this end?????
Yesterday at 7 PM there was a car broken into on Empire Blvd. (Bet Kingston and Albany Ave.) The car was parked in a backyard not on the street…The robbers are getting more brazen, and going to well lite private backyards. When the cops came they wouldn’t take fingerprints to see if this maybe part of a bigger crime spree by the same person that is doing the other brake -ins I am reading about on here. The reason they gave was that the thief didn’t take that much and it wasn’t worth it…I think the broken window itself is expensive and should be investigated.

ATT: ALL THE PPL WHO RESPONDED TO ME
ok lets take this one at a time.
my 1st responder was TO GIRL WROTE:
you sound a bit funny i mean i’m sure you just didn’t realize what you wrote but what you wrote was that food makes a place good! lol.
I don’t think you didn’t know this before but incase you didn’t, food is NOT what makes crown heights good!
i feel sorry if thats what you think makes a place good. if crown heights is the best it will be the best with or with out the food.
if it were the food that makes crown heights good (lol) once there is a break in/shooting/mugging/annoying police, crown heights all of a sudden becomes bad?
i don’t think you make so much sense maybe explain yourself a bit?
besides that when i wrote about the purim comments i wasn’t talking about the purim seuda i was talking about the article with everyones purim pics.
my 2nd responder was TO GIRL: your right, the grass always looks greener on the other side.
and we should all make the best out of crown heights, crown heights is the best, face it!
if we were to weigh all the good and bad in crown heights……no doubt what would tip it!
yes the cops are not doing what they are expected to, and yes the muggings and shooting are abnormel here in crown heights but i think you guys are not getting my point.
What i am trying to say is that crown heights has it’s ups and it’s downs but that shouldn’t make ppl change there veiw of crown heights or say it sucks…….etc.
crown heights is the best even with the crimes, it’s the rebbes shchuna no doubt about it!!!
my 3rd responder was ATT GIRL: you write that i like getting in to crown heights mushes, what is that suppose to mean?
yes i know crown heights has it’s ups and downs as i wrote before but when a down comes you are not gonna change your veiw of crown heights and say it’s bad.
from what i see on this site in the comments are ppl saying crown heights is bad as a whole.
of course e/o knows every thing has ups and downs but if the ups are way more than the downs then ppl would call it good and the other way around.
your right it might be 2 different ppl saying 2 different opinions but then why do i see not one comment besides mine that crown heights is still the best? only ‘crown heights is the worst…………’ and believe me most of them are the same ppl.
my 4th responder was ALSO TO GIRL:
thank g-d there is at least one person other than me who came to there senses!!!
crown heights is THE BEST as i wrote before weigh the good and bad, the bad is nothing comphared to the good.
we live in the rebbes shchuna and that alone tips the scale!!!
I like that one – ‘long live crown heights!!!!’
CROWN HEIGHTS IS THE BEST!!!!

The level of security in Crown Heights has gone so low it’s dispicable. I mean, what do the police do all day?
Let them put a kop on every block untill they find out who the heck is doing these disgusting stuff.
We must take action, whether it’s protesting or complaining to Bloomberg, something must be done.
