It was a Yeshiva Boy that was mugged and it happened in front of the Shul
its time to have a larger shomrim patrol.. we have so many Jewish people living in a small area.. but there are some real bad neighborhoods..
Raintree is a great neighborhood we have some of the biggest askanim living here
Whatever, he shouldn’t have been walking around alone at 11:30 pm. We don’t live in a nice small town anymore.
I also had the same thing happen to me. I told the guy that my wife took all the money. All she left me with is a quarter. He ran away. Remember to always thank your wife.
See ? Crime DOES pay.
I was also robbed and all I had was a chicken sandwich, the suspect took it but was upset because it had no peppers. This was last year by the tracks.
