This afternoon, a thief – whose face was wrapped in a towel – stole a bike in Westgate, and was also seen throwing an item in a trash bin, area residents tell TLS.
Residents walked over to the trash bin and discovered that the item thrown into the trash was this Mezuzah – which appears to have been ripped off a home.
If it’s yours, call 845-798-2745 to claim.
Police are investigating.
I have 2 questions
1) why is the Klaf visible, I beleave the front door should be in a closed box (could be wrong)
2) if they saw the guy leaving the house and putting in the garbage, why not return the mezuza to the house it came from.
just asking
Use your head! If the mezuza was taken down obviously that’s not the mezuza. They just chose a random picture for the post.
It is a picture of the actual Mezuzah found in the trash.
They did not see him leaving the home. They saw him throwing and item into the trash, which turned out to be this Mezuzah.
I noticed him about 6:30 on Shabbos walking out of one of the rental “tunnels”. He looked very suspicious with towel draped over his head and I walked away very quickly
