A career criminal befriended by rabbis at a Brooklyn Heights synagogue - who gave him food and money - returned the favor by busting into the house of worship and stealing whatever he could, police sources said.

PSA – Thirteen Cardinal Rules on Home Foreclosure/Loan Modifications and Credit Card Repair/Settlement or Consolidated debt.Since my last article generously published by CrownHeights.info, I have met with dozens of local families and have worked with many to modify their loans and fix their credit.
Every case is unique and different and there is no one set of rules or advice that can be given.
With more than 200 local families currently several months behind in their mortgage payments, spiraling credit card debt, and tuition bills that need to be addressed at the beginning of the year, not to mention, the upcoming month of Tishrei, I felt the need to share just a few thoughts to help all those families that are either too embarrassed to ask for help, or who think they can do it themselves.
There is no specific order to these rules, each is important in its own right.

NEW YORK — The city handed out 13,000 fewer parking summonses and saw its ticket revenues nose-dive by $30 million last fiscal year — despite a record number of traffic agents on the street.
Downtrodden motorists too broke to pay their tickets are driving the sudden plummet in revenue, driver advocates theorized.
