In the early hours of Tuesday, March 4th, The Hustle Wig, a thriving Crown Heights business specializing in hat wigs, fell victim to a break-in that resulted in the theft of over $30,000 worth of inventory and supplies.
The incident, which was caught on surveillance cameras, took place at approximately 3:00 AM when an unidentified perpetrator arrived on a bicycle and proceeded to pick the store’s lock.
Once inside, the thief made off with a significant amount of high-value wigs and materials, carefully loading them onto his citi bicycle. But that wasn’t the end of it. At 5:00 AM, he returned for a second round, stealing additional merchandise along with a panini machine, first aid kit, and other miscellaneous items.
The break-in was immediately reported to authorities, and a detective is now working closely with Hustle Wig to identify and apprehend the perpetrator. Given the value of the stolen goods, the crime has been classified as grand theft. However, police have assured the business owners that there is no indication of a targeted attack or ongoing threat.
Despite the setback, The Hustle Wig remains in high spirits, undeterred by the crime. “We have taken extra security measures and are ensuring our customers still receive the wigs they have ordered,” said a representative from the company.
The owners are urging anyone with information regarding the break-in to come forward as the investigation continues. Meanwhile, the team at The Hustle Wig is pushing forward, determined to rebuild and continue serving their customers with the same dedication and energy as before.

The best hat falls!!!
Hope they find the thief asap
Make an insurances claim, recoup the loss and shut the shop.
Where did the Rebbe say any such thing? Don’t make up your own things and attribute them to him.
He made off with 5 shaitels…..
Maybe research the product then say it’s only 5-6 wigs these days….
What would these comments sound like if he ONLY made off with 6 – 7 diamond rings (could be about the same price)
Of course “these number change everything about the story–NOT!
That’s all of 5-6 wigs these days …
The hustle is the best!
What a dumb thief with no mask ..
Dumb theif?
If he was never arrested & photographed he may never be found.
The government is dumb.
Who’s going to steal if they might die?
‘The 7 Noahide Laws,’ NOW!
High-security locks. If possible insurance too. (It seems that the store is located in someone’s basement. Why not at the very least a very loud burglar alarm?)
Sell in on a black market or where?
It might be a sign from ‘ה that the local wig sellers are charging people way to much money it’s time to lower the costs.
משיח now
Hashem loves every Jew and definitely we don’t know his calculations
It is also highly insensitive
Please let us be nice
so he got away with one wig? might be easy to find him especially if he’s wearing it.
…he needs a wig himself!
The city bike helps criminals get around and transport their stolen goods. Not a fan.
Sounds like an inside job. He had to know where to go, that there would be valuables there, that one could easily take off with and carry on a bike. Review security cameras to see if he was there before for another reason.
