NYPD located the vehicle unoccupied on 20th Avenue and 85th Street in Brooklyn, NY.
WHY DO YOU GUYS EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE STUPID COMMENTS PEOPLE MAKE. THEY HAVE NO LIFE AND NO BRAINS EITHER SO LET’S NOT RESPOND!! THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT – ATTENTION!
Special thanks to the Boro Park Shomrim Division for their fast response. And to the alert neighbor who upon seeing the suspicious vehicle wrote down its license plate number which led police to this thug.
East Midwood Volunteer Ambulance
Who runs it?
Is it F32 – SZ?
Do they have a public number?
Or, do they only show up on MVA’s they pick up on the Police and Hatzolah radios?
(and of-course nobody can accuse them of buffing, because they can always claim that “somebody” called them. Yeah Right!)
For all the Shomrim bashers- I witnessed a break-in this summer and called the shomrim and NYPD. They were both there within 2 minutes of the call. Of course, Shomrim got there first, but NYPD WAS right behind them in an undercover car with guns on their jeans.
NYPD will announce an arrest later today in the robbery.
FYI: Shomrom’s behind the scenne activities do great thing’s the frum people in NYC.
So just back off.
Why would somebody dare to keep anywhere near $10 mil. in his house? It doesn’t sit to well with and I’m sure not with the IRS either. Good luck!
NYPD griling a suspect
Someone that lives on the block where the car was found said that the cops and FBI are still there
where do you take that ?
who told you that EMVA has anything to do with munkatch ?
EMVA is fine young men from Boro Park who have their own Ambulance – they are around at nights- They are the official ambulance of Munkatch-
The fact that many people criticize the shomrim is proof of itself that the members aren’t doing it for kovod.
It’s obvious that the community on this site are not aware of what the shomrim do.
As for preventing crime, in Boro Park this year, Jan – current, the BP Shomrim have stopped over 130 crimes in progress with almost 80 arrests that they were responsible for. So much for never catching anyone.
Most people call the shomrim after a crime occured. The shomrim cannot investigate crimes, and can’t file police reports. That’s why they ask you to call police. If there is a crime in progress the shomrim will respond.
Besides crime fighting there is community service that they do as well. How many people are aware that the BP shomrim responds to an average of 3 missing persons a week?? Tell the family of an alzheimers patient that is missing that the shomrim do it for kovod and are worthless. Let’s see what the police will do in that case other than file a report.
As for the safes, and the comment that a safe person must be involved, who do you think is following a known heimishe safe ganif? The shomrim!! Where is our great NYPD??
When there was a rash of GPS robberies all occuring friday night when the robbers know the Shomrim are not around, where was the NYPD?? Who forced them to place extra patrols? The shomrim.
It is obvious by the comments on this site, that most of those posting are immature kids, and probably driving around with lights and sirens.
Why should East Midwood be there??
To anon 6:51 PM;
If your GPS was stolen and you have the serial number (not the model #) you should still be able to register the product with the manufacturer even if you haven’t done so until now.
Once registered, file a police report stating the GPS model and serial # and the manufacturer will then be able to track the device IF THEY DESIRE TO.
That doesn’t mean you will definately get it back, what it does mean is that you can extract revenge on the Gonif by having them turn-off the unit and it won’t work.
For all of those who are interested: 2 million dollars fits iinto a good size attache case. 10 million will fit into a good sized luggage. Just do the math. A thousant 100 dollar bills is like a a 2 thousant page book. About 6 and 1/8 inch by 2 and 5/8 inch and you can fit 100 of these into a nice size luggage. Just try it.
This is a very sad story. We should all donate funds to Mr. Z’s charities before the Yom Tov. Many people will be deprived of his generosity. The community should focus their energies on aiding the investigation, locate the ganavim, and return the money. Chevra, let’s move away from the mundane and rediculous…merge tzedek with tzedakah in these days of awe.
about the shomrim,
on my block we had 3 major break ins in the summer, shomrim just said call the police, when somebody told them that this is the third one this summer, they said “so”!!!, shomrim is going around in all big butei midroshim now to collect money, do not give them, they do not do anything (almost) anymore, unless it involves a lost child in yom tov or shabbos, by the way: i have a friend that recently called shomrim saying that 2 goiyim are bracking in a car right now, they said someone will call you back, and they did “40 minutes later” when they were long gone, shomrim these days are like the old ems that showed up 30 minutus after hatzalah left, i know that do not owe anyone anything its valunteer, but don’t claim to do what you don’t (protecting bp) and then go collecting money, i just hope that they do take in young memebers that have more time, and are up anyway during the night hours, and yes bp became a lot bigger and they need more members, and young ones
by-the-way my suv was broken in as well and my gps + electronics are all gone i have the serial numbers of my electronics were could i give it in it should be on file if it shows up ?
he could have had the money home for a business deal. there was jewelry taken too. that could have been worth a few mill as well.
both mr. and mrs. sicherman were tied up and there.
I personally know the Zichermans and I know them to be quiet tzaddikim, tyere mentchen, with goldene middos. There are practically hundreds or thousands of people being helped by them for many many years on a steady basis without any noise or fanfare. Mr. Zicherman is highly respected in the real estate business and he is know for his fair and straight dealings. His tenants, many of who are minority/poor, think highly of him and he treats them very well. The City of New York has entruted him with some of the worst apartment buildings in the city because he has a reputation running an honest, clean operation. Anyone whio has the gall to disparage them now in their time of hurt has stooped to a level so low, its not even passig for a UTA graduate.
FYI – $10,000,000 IN $100 BILLS WOULD TAKE THE SPACE OF 50 OR SO REAMS OF PAPER. WOULD HAVE FILLED UP THEIR SUV.
I HOPE THE THIEVES ARE FIGHTING OVER WHICH ONE KEPT THE BULK OF THE MYTHICAL $10 MILLION FROM THE OTHER INSTEAD OF SPLITTING IT EQUITABLY
ANYONE HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT SUSPECTS OR APREHENSION?
they stoll everything
This is very strange story – my feeling is this story will change over the next few days –
How stupid can you get?????????
It was NOT $10,000,000.00!!!!!!!!!!
First of all Sicherman would never tell you this
Secondly NOBODY keeps 10mil in their house
3rd you need a safe the size of a room to stack 10MIl dollars which is 100,000 $100 dollar bills. do the cheshbon and you’ll see that….
Does anybody know if Wolf was home at the time and tied up or not. there are conflicting reports about that.
One thing I dont understand – How do they know it was 10 million dollars? The Zichermans would never let it be known and the thief was not caught – I dont get it
any relation to Mr. Zichler from the movie a gesheft. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2953299552596470895&q=gesheft
This Comment is for this anonymous person! First of all that was pure loshon hara especially saying the name strait out if u have nothing else to right then dont write anything at all because u wrote something which was purely disgusting!! put urself in thier shoes! i guess the only thing it will take is for somebody to do that to u inorder for u to learn its not something to spread un humerous jokes about i hope one day youll grow up!!!! i wish u alot of hatzlachah in ur life!!!!!!!
Is this the Volf Zicherman that donated a lot of money for the so-called eruv?
They tied him up with the eruv shtrik & carried everything out using the eruv, with “Rabbinical Supervision” of course.
11:52 PM
hey i have nothing againts the shomrim
true i will call them when im in need lets hope none of us will need them
and they do great work and they deserve more kovod then we give them
i was just saying the fact that they join for the fun the older ones once they are in it they stay in it but they didnt join at 35 they joined at 18-20 for the fun
thats all i was saying
we should all do what we love and they enjoy doing this so be it!
the people that are really bashing the shomrim they are just jelous
Speculater!
I think you are on to something. How do they know there are safes? Were all these safes installed by the same guy?
How come EMVA ambulance was not on the scene?
SPECULATER said…
Recently we hear a lot of safes beeing stolen. I think we should check up on safe companys and the people installing them.
whats on your cmon spill whom are you trying to accuse
With all the money in BP, and te cheap price of wireless cameras, why doesnt every block have a camera at the beginning and end of the block that records every car/person coming in and keeps a record for a month or so. This should cut crime to nothing.
To all who ridicule the BELOVED Shomrim Members!
Watch how u express urself u may never know when ull be in this dire situation of a child in 90 dagree in a car and u hear a PD car racing to “assist” u with consequences, whom would u rather have at that door? 2nd)what do u know about shomrim that u could have such a big mouth, imagine ur at work and your mother calls u at work with an emergency u should come home, what do u do the first thing u tell her call shomrim and ill be there soon, from where do u think do these volunteers come from ? they come from “WORK” too. 3rd) how old are your children ?(if u have any) are they tennagers etc. ? are u challenged by their age? do u know whats going on in their life? or when trouble arises u pick up the phone in the middle of the night so your child doesen’t know whom ur calling and seeking advice on how to deal with the situation? thats after talking to his rebbe and menahel…. Do u still want more info?…… 4th)talking about Kovod Yes ITS TIME TO GIVE THEM THE DESERVED KOVED..
5th)Find me one member between the age of 18-25??? these are fathers/ grandfathers of families….
wow! its amazing that everyone knows every single shomrim member in bp and flatbush to say that they all want kavod and action. and that they are all young guys when 90% of them are older than 35 and marrried. i personally know 1 shomrim member who has made over 5 arrests preventing robberies and stolen cars along with his fellow members. if they are after the kavod.. then where is it. certainly not from the polodce dept. they hate shomrim so if anyone has anmy ideas where si this supposed kavod coming from?
attention the guy that said “if they have the liscence plate then they should have them” well, at that point the eyewitness wasn’t sure exactly what was happening since it seemed like the zicherman’s weren’t home! These robbers looked scary, one was on a cell phone probably speaking to the driver of their Yukon & this eyewitness thought this might be a robbery so let me take the license down! The car sped off before the witness had a chance to call Shomrim!

I cant understand that, they got the license plates and they can’t get the robbers?!
1:34 PM
Maybe the car was stolen? Thought about that?
Recently we hear a lot of safes beeing stolen. I think we should check up on safe companys and the people installing them.
Give shomrim a break & a huge thank you!!
They do tons!
Who cares if they’re a bunch of vilde kids. Fact: there are plenty of them that are in their thirties, approaching forty!
Better they join shomrim than just go vilde!
the shomrim do some good but i agree
they are not there for themself they are there for the kovod and for the action
come on guys be honest they go driving like crazy they dont catch anyone they are young kids looking for fun
they never stop a crime before it happens or catch the guy while hes doing the crime
better to have them around then not have them we dont even pay what dp we care if they wanna have fun i would not start a new one i dont think any of us can do a btter job
but rabosie be honest they want action fun and kovod and let them have it who cares as long as they are doing good they deserve it
sounds like an inside job to me.
How else would they know a safe existed upstairs????????????????
why do we need shomrim to open a car with a child inside with ninety degree weather?
break the window fools!!!
I cant understand that, they got the license plates and they can’t get the robbers?!
In regard to the comment about car break in i Am on the street early in the morning and i always see nisht mishelunee Roaming the streets eyeing each car while walking and they all have back packs on them i wonder why
you can see this all live

BROOKLYN The Orthodox community in Borough Park is on alert after a violent home invasion Monday night. This time it appears the victims were targeted by the bandits.
Police are hoping a surveillance camera out front captured a picture of the masked men who broke into Sarah and Wolf Sicherman’s home in Borough Park just after 9 p.m. Monday.
Police say that neighbors might have seen the bandits faces as they fled.
The men, armed with box cutters and wearing ski masks and black jumpsuits, entered through a small window in the back, according to police. They tied up the owner, forced his wife to open the safe and then fled out the front door with cash and jewelry.
“This was a planned, professional break-in. They knew what they were looking for, and they probably followed this man for a long time to plan this happening,” said Rabbi Shia Lefkowitz, a neighbor.
Neighbors told CBS 2 that the Sichermans are respected, well-liked members of this Orthodox Jewish community, who made their fortune in real estate:
“They are the most wonderful people. [There is] no one like them. They give a lot of charity. The nicest people you would ever know,” said Heddy Weinberger, another neighbor.
The leafy blocks of Borough Park are a tight-knit Orthodox community, where street crime is rare. But now there is fear.
According to neighbor Frieda Schnall, “It was always considered safe neighborhood, but It’s scary now to leave our kids home alone at night.”
“It’s very sad news for the community in the heart of Borough Park. We don’t usually have such stories,” said neighbor Yossi Friedman.
As for the shomrim comment, You are a real fool!! Shomrim guys do a wonderful job! Many leave in middle of work hours to try to catch a ganif in your driveway, or look for a missing child, or help open a car door with the keys inseide, and its 90 degrees and a child is inside!! WHAT KOVOD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? Kovod from the little child who’s life was just saved?? You silly fool! You don’t deserve that shomrim should ever respond to your calls! Go pray on Yom kippur well! you are probally a kovod mentch who got insulted that a non paying volonteer didnt drop everything and go help you, were the ganif was long gone!! Be well.
Shomrim does a wonderful job, keep it up Shomrim guys!!
if you dont like the shomrim then dont pay them!!
(oh i forgot u dont pay them anyway they are volnteers)
so why r u complaining anyway
as long as they dont charge you why do u care????
While I am not here to support or discredit the Shomrim, what is it exactly that you want the shomrim to do for you hours after the car was broken into.
The shomrim don’t get kovod, they only get called names by people like you. There is no kovod involved at all.
Also, the shomrim do alot of things that the community at large is not even aware of. And its better that way!!!
flatbush shomrim does great work, not for kavod. whether it is an hour before shabbos or a regular weeknight ..searching for missing children or responding to suspicious people ….for whoever bashes them chas vshalom youre ever in trouble mayb u will think ur pervious comments their are not so useless as u think
