At 12:20 pm on Sunday afternoon of this week, a man walked into Sterling Electronics on Kingston Avenue and proceeded to steal a Pushka from the store counter.
Surveillance footage shows the individual in a black jacket, beige pants and brown knitted hat standing at the counter near one of the registers and casually putting the Pushka in his pocket.
He did this while one store worker was helping a customer in another part of the store and another worker was at a different register.
The store’s owners are asking for help, if anyone recognizes the man in the photos please call the store at 718-756-9840.
more people MUST have touched it
Noone gives enyway
just because hes poor it doesnt mean he could go around the neighborhood stealing pushkas!!!!
Quick question:
Do you really really believe that this guy looks at Collive.com for his news?
Really? Common.
There is no mitzvah to give our own money for drugs, let alone fremder.
However, the misdemeanor theft charge that he’ll end up getting doesn’t even make it worthwhile to have him caught.
we need to presume that he needed the money and after all the box is for charity, whats so important to catch the fellow. and btw if streling was smart they would only show this to the store owners and employees because human nature is if hes a drug addict and got away (as he did) he would certainly try another store and probably with in 72 hours.
being poor is not a excuse to steal come on!!!!
if hes so poor, how can he afford that leather jacket? u cant find those in 2nd hand shops!
lets presume your story is true, please put it in a plastic bag with gloves only try not touching the tin top or the bottom cap and the sides as little as possible and there is a “great chance” of recovering fingerprints and a very likely chance of identifying the man.
Maybe turn it into the police as it has fingerprints on it since he is not wearing gloves.
It is obvious that the guy needed the money or he would not have stolen it. When we give tzedakah it is supposed to help the needy, so it should not be made into a big deal.
this pushka was sitting in front of my garden, empty of course. i was wondering how it got there and suspected that it was probably stolen. Now i know that my thinking was right. Sorry to hear about that.
its an Hadar Hatorah pushka….
