A confrontation between a black woman and a Lubavitcher girl on a subway ended with the theft of a cell phone, and a later attempt to retrieve it yielded a ransom request by the woman from the earlier confrontation. The victim thought of calling Shomrim, but didn’t at first thinking that it wouldn’t be right to trouble them with such a trivial matter, but later called and together they retrieved the phone. The following letter was sent to us by the victim:
To the Shomrim of Crown Heights:

I am writing this letter to express my thanks for what Shomrim did for me this week.

My phone was stolen, and I soon had given up hope on ever retrieving it. That was only until I decided to call Shomrim of course.
