Yesterday (Thursday) evening the Police responded to a call about a shoplifter on the corner of Montgomery St. and Kingston Ave. right next to the grocery store “Kol-Tuv”.

Later we learned that this thief did more then just shoplift. Allegedly he went into the Shain Shul and stole R. Shain’s hat, then he started walking up Kingston Ave. and was trying to sell this hat to various stores, according to eyewitness accounts. When he did not manage to sell the hat he just went into the store and helped himself to some goods.

When the police arrested him they went trough his belongings and saw this hat which a member of the CH Shomrim recognized as R. Shains hat and was returned to him.

Thief’s Silliness never seizes to amaze!

    chill man, what do you know about Shomrim. I can tell you I’ve been in trouble several times in the community and Shmira didn’t do Jack, half the time they didn’t even show up. Only Shomrim was there for me every time.

    By the way, thank you Shomrim, Ben Terk and the Hershkop brothers who’ve been a tremendous help for me in the past.
